Any body have links or pictures on how to reach the back plugs? I'm 6'4 - 320 and my arms don't fit .

I'm 6'6" 375 and I fit back there, and have friggin ginormous hands. You have no excuse. I've found the removing the rear lift bracket is the easiest way to get at them. Removing the alternator is another option.

Hehe - touch'e Beast.

Thanks

I reached over the top of the motor. I put upholstery foam pads on top to spare my knees and I just reached over and back. Lots of trouble getting the rear snapons to let go. Lots of twisting.

Remember to pull off the metal heat shields from the motor end of the connectors as much as they'll go. They put pressure against the plug end to seal the rubber on.

I stood on a 24 pack to reach over the right fender and still couldn't get the plug connector on that side to break loose.

The metal shields make it hard to get a good grip on the bottom end of the plug socket.

I'm 5'11'' and 240 and have never felt small til now

I used a brake spoon (L shaped end) and wedged the end under the wire. Plan on replacing all 6 wires, do it one plug and wire at a time, match up the lengths with the new wires and install. Be sure to put di-electric grease in the boot of the wire, and anti-seize on the threads of the plug. That makes future plug and wire changes much easier.
