I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix with the 3.1L V6. I'm not too mechanically inclined, but I would like to change the spark plugs but I Can't reach the ones on the backside of the engine. What is the easiest way to access those plugs?

Remove the coil pack, it will be easier to get to.

Another option is from under car, raise car put on stands.

Put some anti-sieze on the plug threads when installing. This will prevent stripping the threads in the head.
