You need to roll the engine forward by removing the air intake from the filter to the throttle body and removing the top two engine mounts. Use a ratchet tie down you pull the engine forward.

Then from the bottom you follow the exhaust pipe up to the spark plugs. Use a flex ratchet. The hard part is getting the boots off the plugs. I had to cut them off. Good luck.

You don't want to do both of these, just get the front of the vehicle on jack stands and get them from underneath. Alot of it will be by feel, because you can't always see what you are doing. It's not really that bad.
