Default 1989 2.3 plugs

So i just got done installing new plugs, well.. 6 out of the 8.. I got the passenger side in no problem, and the two plugs on the driver side closest to the front of the truck but i cant get the 2 in the back. i also got a new set of plugs and got the 4 installed on the passenger side but once again none on the driver side.


do you have to take off the throttle body off to get to these?? is there a trick? the plugs were very bad gapped at .080 and past. it runs better now but i want to install them 2 more plugs and the rest of the wires. any tips?


i tryed extensions and swivels

I was going to post the same question. The only difference is that my I have a 1996. I also got the same six plugs replaced but can barely even see the #3 and 4 plugs on the driver side. I sure would appreciate any advice available on replacing these last two plugs.

no you have to be very flexable and good with your fingers. its a royal pain in the ass. but it can be done with it still on.you need some long extensions and a swivel. my advice and oppinion is to just fuck with it for a while till it pisses you off, then walk away for a bit, and come back and try again.
