The easy way to change your spark plugs
 
Ok I did this today and it was so easy. First you have to remove your intake box,battery,and washer tank. Then you have to go under your car and undo the engine mount bolts. Then bust out your trusty flour jack your going to jack from you oil pan so put a peice of wood on the jack so you dont dent your oil pan. Then raise the jack it up till you see your engine raise about a inch or two. This lets you get to your plugs very easy took about half an hour to do.

It's just as easy to use the correct extensions and elbow joints on a wrench... just make sure you use a latex rubber glove inbetween the extensions so nothing pops off while you're taking off the plugs.

It might be but this way makes it that much less of a hassle I thats why I call it the easy way

Me thinks using correct extensions is less of a hassle than undoing engine mounts and jacking up the motor. Maybe I'm just lazy.

Well I did have my hole engine looking like it was takin apart intercooler off and all the other stuff I had to pull off. Oh the reason I had to reamove my intercooler was I had to do my PCV valve.
