Using a 3/8" ratchet set with a swivel head spark plug socket with various extensions will allow this to be done, there is NO need to remove any fender well plastic. You can do all plugs with a swivel head and various length extensions, also recommend a pair of Mac tools long reach spark plug wire pullers-they work fantastically on theses 2.3L motors.
