some people do that, however i dont have any problems getting my socket in there. just try putting the socket over the plug first, then attach it to the ratchet. use a small extension if you have one, works well.

You can reach all of them from the side panels. The wrench from the tool kit actully works best. No need to take the radiator off although the center cylinders will likely teach you some new words. LOL

Yeah. I used the tool kit also, although my stubby wrench set helped.

Detroit Cane, that's what I did, and I used a long flat screwdriver, very lightly!, around the plug boots to lift them off the plug, after 17 years that **** was a little tight! I did the whole job in about an hour. And remember to put a little anti-sieze compound on the spark plug threads!
