Well we had a 02 Olds minivan with similiar problem. I let our mechanic change them since I was pressed for time and had him changing a air conditioner condenser coil at the same time. He said he got them from underneath using a car lift. Auto Zone is supposed to have some type of car repair site to go to. If you can't find it you could call one of the auto parts stores and they might direct you.

I have a 1990 Grand Prix with a 3.1 V6 and was checking it out today I just got it this summer and have not really looked at it. I baught it for $400.00 I was going to get it ready for winter so My wife could drive it on days that the road is wet and salty in order to try to save the body on the 96 Grand AM as much as possible. Looking at the back side of the engine, it is so close to the fire wall that I can't seem to get my hands back in there to get at the plugs. Do I really have to pop the motor mounts and jack the darnd thing to get at the back 3 plugs? Or is there another option. I think if I could find a 6 year old Mechanical genius that could get his little hands back there I would have it made. On the other hand since it seems to be running well enough I will probably just leave it alone but on the other hand, if I do have to deal with this problem either with this car or another in the future it would be good information to have stuffed up in my brain pan.for later retrieval Robert [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
