Post 2008 5.3 L Tune Up

Purchased a 2008 LT2 w/75K miles on it. Love this Truck! Now that it has 80K miles on it I decided to replace the Plugs and Plug Wires. All went well until I got to #8 Plug. What a pain for me. The only way I could figure out how to get at it was to lay across the top of the engine and sacrifice my left arm. I'm glad the plugs last 100K miles. Was there an easier way to replace #8 Spark Plug? Thanks,

Murph.

Ha not really bud. They are a pain in the a**. I don't know if the chevy mechanics have a trick to it; all i know is you like you said have to sacrifice the arm if you want to get it done.
