Haven't done mine yet, but watch out for #6, it's a widowmaker.

I changed my plugs and wires today, except for #6. Is there a trick to it? I can get the wire off, but getting the socket down there is a different story. Anyone know?

TJ has some trick to it, but I can't remember. Often, the dealerships skip #6, its just a pain in neck.

I changed all six of mine. I posted a how to link on here some where. The trick was you needed two extensions and a swivel joint to get to #6. But it still took a long time and most of the work done on #6 was by feel only.
