Re: changing plugs
I had to do the 2 closest to the firewall on the passenger side from underneath. I also have headers and used a flare nut socket from snap-on that is designed to fit in the tight space over the plug. It has a hex head that you can use a wrench to turn. Made life much easier for me. Only bad thing was that it cost $30. There are a couple of threads in the forums on how to make your own socket if you want to go that route. Try searching around.
Hope this helps.

Re: changing plugs
Moving from Aftermarket Product Review board.
As has already been said, it's easiest from underneath especially if you have big hands and arms. Headers make it more fun, but I custom altered my socket.
Best wishes.
