Did you go through the top of the engine or did you go through the fenderwell?

If you look in the fenderwell, there is a flap there that can be removed. Remove it and you are staring right at the plugs...

Going in from the femderwell was the easiest way for me. A friend and I used a spark plug socket with a hex at the end and used an open end wrench to turn it.

Definitely thru the fenderwell, and make sure you use anti-seize.
