    To start I been wanting to change the spark plugs since I bought my car in Feb. of 2012 I did almost all the general maintenance on the car like K&N air filter, oil change, automatic transmission fluid and filter/gasket, tires, 180 F thermostat and gasket coming next ect. Now back to the spark plugs last night I started to take off the front driver side spark plug wire boot I twisted/pulled it didn't want to come off finely it came off, next I did the middle one when the boot came off but to my surprise the metal connector was still on the spark plug so I fixed it, now the belt side came off cool so I replaced the spark plugs if you want to look at the spark plugs I took out click my 2000 Grand Prix Cardomain link in my signature below, now the back driver side behind the stupid O2 sensor dumb location I think but I seen a guy on youtube take the O2 sensor out to get to it so I got the socket but my extensions didn't fit in the socket right size just didn't fit I couldn't get it out so I just pulled the boot out and again the metal connector was on the spark plug so I fix it now i'm tying to to put the spark plug socket on the spark plug and it turns and turns can't seem to get it on the nut of the spark plug to take it out my fore arm barely fits back there. Does anybody know a better way to get to the back plugs or is this the only way? any ideas?
