I left the intake manifold attached when I changed them on my 99. I did unclamp that rubber thing from the air intake, though, and move it out of the way. My hands are just small enough (apparently) to reach around there. I had to use a socket with a rubber gripper to loosen the rear plugs, and different lengths of extensions. The rubber gripper stuck on the plugs when I installed the new ones, so I had to install them with a socket without a rubber insert.
Lexmex is right about the thread -- it's very helpful. Allow yourself lots of time, and save those easy three front plugs for last!
