okay im new to the hemi but been doing alot of reading on this site. im apparently due for the spark plugs and was going to tackle it myself. i took off the air assembly to take a look at it and it seems like i can get almost all of them except the right hand far back ones. i know some people go through the wheel well but i dont understand why?? is it because there is better access that im not seeing for those back ones ?? any tips and tricks will be appreciated.. i got my di-elec for the tips and anti seiz for the threads oh and also p/u the gap tool too.. dont think im forgetting anything..tks in advance

 

A 3 or 4 inch extension and wobble bit (not sure what you really call them) will help with the ones on the right just make sure you have a few hours to do it

 

Oh and start one the right side first so you get the hard ones out of the way and then its cake from there

 

Back driver and passenger side are the most difficult. I'm not sure if there is a time advantage to the wheel well liner removal method, but it may be less frustrating.

 

Taking the wheel's and wheel well liners out is the only way to go. it is a lot easier to get to and doesnt' kill your back being bent over for hours trying to get to stuff.

Here is a pic of the access you gain through the wheel well



for tools..



these are awesome. they are the KD tools spark plug sockets.

built in wobble head, magnetic, and the medium one is the perfect length.

wow never seen a socket like that before is that a must to use??

 

The spark plug socket yes that particular one no but you will need an extension and wobble

 

I'ver never seen the wobble ones, but I used the swivel head ones.

 

You can do it with out a wobble head, all you need is a ratchet, extensions, and the spark plug socket. you can pick up a cheap on for $5 from auto zone that will do the trick. Also for your plugs, use the cheapies...the guy at the parts store may even try and talk you into platinums, etc...it will only cause mis fires. go with champion coppers, best for the hemi!

 

yeah when i need 16 ill stick with cheap factory ones lol.. i did go and look at the wobble 3in extension but didnt buy it because it didnt seem to changed the angle or"wobble" that much??
