Do you really have to remove the intake manifold to replace the spark plugs?
I looked on you tube and they say you must remove the intake to access the rear spark plugs? WTF.

No, you do not. The front ones are pretty easy. As for the rear, with some skill and a proper set of tools you will be able to get the job done without removing the plenum.

i changed my 93 plugs in about 30 minutes, it takes the right combination of extensions and a wobble head or maybe a u-joint extension socket.

No you do not, save your money on a plenum gasket some people get ya scared and say it is a massive hassle WRONG!! no big deal to get to the back ones, do it from the passenger side dicounect the pvc hose and you can reach under the plenum to get to them search the forums and you will see I have posted pics of the few tools I used to do it
