Changing '98 Explorer Plugs

Just wondering if anyone could help me by telling how they have changed their spark plugs on the V8 Explorer. It looks like I am going to have to come up through the tire well on the driver's side. Anything would help me because this is my first time doing it on my Explorer. I have done it several time on my '96 Ranger.

Easiest way is through the fenderwells. Take the tire off, remove the flap in the fenderwell (held on with pushpins), and the wires and plugs are right there.

I second the recommendation of going through the fender wells. It worked great along with universals and extensions. Good Luck
