This might sound stupid but how do I change my spark plugs wires?
Last time I changed them was when I painted my intake so it was off. So the question is do I have to take off the intake to change my spark plugswires?
Or is they another way?

You don't need to take the intake off to change your plugs but it does make it a whole helluva lot easier.

You can reach them with a good 3/8" drive sparkplug socket and extension of the appropriate length. Blow out the plug wells with compressed air before removing the plug so no debris falls into the cylinder.

You can do it with the intake on. just contort your hand and remove the wire by the boot from the plug. Get a nice extention and socket in there and you're all set.

Yes you can do it with the intake on. I would just do one at a time so you can match the lengths of wire and route them the same way. Make sure they aren't touching anything that gets super hot, or in a place where they may get rubbed through.

Ive done it with the intake on on two different SHOs now. Here is a question for all you fellers. Were you able to route the wires the way they originally were? I wasn't. didnt matter anyway though.
