Changing spark plugs

just do a search man.....
No need to remove master cylinder.....no need to remove anything other than the coil packs. Need a few different size extensions, swivel joint and a spark plug socket.
Oh yeah and a little patience, it's not bad though. I found it really helps to put a piece of foam across the top front of the motor where I was leaning in the whole time, and one on top of the bumper. Less wear and tear on the ribs and knees

I used two 6's and a 2 , 3 inch extentions. One swivel and a magnetic retriever. The trick is to break the seal of the spark plug unscrew it. Then as you lift it out separate the socket from the 3 inch extention , All the while ,holding on too the spark plug socket. Your gonna drop it. thats what the retriever is for. Repeat the process too install. By the time you get good at it. the rest are waiting for you. But much easier. I did the hardest ones first. 5 hr install. No hurry just took my time. Hope it helps.

No kidding. Go through the wheel wells. you will be glad you did. it gives you much better access to the plugs, especially the drivers side back 2. for tools, you only need 1
KD tools 3 piece socket set from Sears
the mid length one is just the perfect height to clear the neighboring coil pack and short enough that you can get the plug out without disassembling your ratchet/socket combo.
built in swivel head and magnetic plug grabber. I use a set of these and a 1/4" socket in 10mm for the coil packs, and thats it.

I worked for a Dodge Dealer for a while as a service writer, all techa know changing the plugs in the hemi are a pain. Patience is needed, the book pays 3 hours to change the plugs. According to Dodge training you do not remove the master cylinder to change the plugs. As many have stated above its a matter of using the right combo of extensions and swivel head. Also the hemi is designed with 30,000 mile plugs on the top and 90,000 mile plugs on the bottom side. Good Luck
