2005 Grand Prix, 3.8...any good ideas on #2 spark plug

[Chainsaw6966]

Does anyone have any good ideas on how I can get to the #2 spark plug? The factory lift bracket is in the way, and I can't even see the plug boot. Just trying to get some information before I rip into it. Thanks in advance!

Just get in there and do it. Pull the dogbones and pull the engine forward if you need more room to see.

Thanks dsmuts...appreciate the help. I figured that'd be the best way...just thought I'd get a 2nd opinion.

It's not to bad to get in there really.

IIRC, I just needed a short extension. It's a bear to get your hand at the right angle, I think the best I did was to squeeze my hand in between the heater hoses and the firewall.

If I can shove my fat arms down there, anyone can. Just remember your breathing exercises.

Done...not as bad as it looked. Front pass side mount has extra hole to hold engine forward. Worked out great. Thanks for the info!
