So this is probably a dumb question but, I started changing my spark plugs. I got my front plugs and wires out fine, but i have no idea how to get the rears out. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for removing plugs. Thanks.

I lean down and pull the wire off, then remove the plug with a plug socket, maybe a short extension and ratchet. If you find clearance to be an issue.. you can undo the driverside upper mount, then undo the bolt at the motor for the passenger side one.. rock motor forward and put bolt into the back hole. That'll give you a little more room.
^^^^^ how i do it, as i got huge hands and need the room to work in. pulling the engine forward also lets you see what your doing better. the end plug by the o2 sensor can be a bit of a pita. i put the socket on the plug, then with a ratchet and a 3 inch extension just the tip fits into the socket, break it free and take it out.
if using a real plug socket, its got a bolt on the top, you can use a wrench on it if you cant get the ratchet on clean.
i'll add this, with all them brackets removed and headers installed, theres no reason to move the engine any more for me. i can see and reach in there just fine now.
