Re: Plugs & Wires Changing Help
I would say to move as much as possible. I know this way takes longer, but you learn your truck and it does make the actual removal and install much easier. Also helps to take the wheels off to get at them through the flaps.

And one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Cable-43392-Spark-Removal/dp/B000CQ6J16
And a plug wobble socket
http://www.amazon.com/Wilmar-Drive-Wobble-Socket-W38161/dp/B000FOIBD4
Use a bit of "never seize" on the plug threads and a dab of dielectric grease on the plugs (where the boots slip on) to make install and removal the next time easier.

Probably couldn't hurt to get one of those spark plug wire removal tools. I got one from Hood awhile back and they are surprisingly helpful.

What he said:stupid:
I would go ahead and do the cap and rotor too while you are in there. You can get them both from Hoodtuned also at a great price.
There will be a lot of "while you are in there" in your near future with your new soon-to-be love/hate relationship. You will hate this truck first time you change the plugs and wires, but will love it when you get to drive it again:tup:

Or make your own using a Spark plug socket cut in half and a ratchet wrench.

x2. But...when you're done the truck stumbles down the street...don't panic! Go back and triple check your wire routing and make sure you haven't crossed wires. Ask me how I know.
