Back spark plugs?

[Apk07]

Is there any way to get to the back 3 spark plugs without killing yourself? Does anyone know of any videos of it being done? (96 gtp)

Remove upper dogbones and use a ratchet strap to pull the motor forward as much as possible. Seriously it's spark plugs it's simple to do no need for a video.

Yeah the spark plug replacing part is easy, I was just looking for a video of someone doing the whole motor-moving shenanigans

Umm....everyone has missed the mark. on the 96,97 DOHC you can not replace the rear plugs without removing the upper intake manifold as it covers the plugs completely. on the 95 and older dohc the upper manifold had notches where you could pull the plugs thru... and on that engine you could ratchet it forward. to remove the upper only:

remove:
-the 7 upper to lower intake manifold bolts
-the 3 bolts from the upper to intermediate arm that connects to the tb
and then remove the coil pack to gain access to the 2 bolts from the ICM bracket to the upper intake.

Thank you so much. I haven't gotten around to it, yet, but when I do you'll have saved me a lot of pain I would have had trying to reach back there/tilt the engine
