Plug change... pretty easy
After all the horror stories I was worried, but it turned out to be a two hour job... only issue is making sure you have the right tools.
Here's everything I used to do the job, main things being the 7mm 1/4" drive universal socket and the spark plug setup:
And the main one was for the spark plugs themselves - a universal 5/8" spark plug socket from Sears, with a 3/8" universal above that all topped with a medium extension. Duct tape held them all together, allowing easy removal and installation of the plugs:
First one was the hardest, got easier as I got the hang of it. Like the Densos a lot, makes me feel safer with the 5# pulley.

heh... yep, it did on the first one (passenger side front) and I could reach it with needle-nose pliers. So out came the hundred-mile-an-hour tape, and everything was smooth after that.
Actually I was able to contort to reach all of the screws for the coil packs. Most of the time it was fingertips only, but it was doable.
Note to self: wait for the engine to cool next time... thank gawd for aloe plants...
