Changing spark plugs in 2000 Explorer! HELP!

OK so I have changed the three easy spark plugs on the driver's side but am finding it impossible to change the three on the passenger side. There is simply too much stuff in the way. How am I able to do this? Thanks in adavance.

Smile Spark Plug Change

If this is anything like the 98 Explorer maa139 answered this on a previous message: "Use the exhaust manifold as a reference and felt around for the plug. The front two should be pretty easy to get to from the top". We changed them on my 98 and we needed a 6 inch extension. Good luck.

Access the passenger side plugs thru the wheel well. You may have to remove the plastic/rubber inner lining, but once done, the plugs are very accessible.
