Default Spark Plug Change

Ok, I feel like a complete idiot posting this but I'm in a predicament. I'm at 92K on my car and I think it's time to change the plugs, lol. So I was looking around and realized the fuel rale has to be removed to to the spark plugs. I also heard a special tool is needed to de-pressurize the fuel so I could take it off. Anybody got any tips or any tricks I can use when I actually get around to doing this which I hope to be very soon?

I just changed the plugs yesterday, you do not need to take off the fuel rai, trust me, just remove the covers and get a sparkplugs socket and a long extention and your done its that easy, dont waste your time removing the rail
when you put the new plugs in make sure you socket come right off of the new plug or else it will get stuck onto the plug when you take the wrench out and you will have to put some pliyers down in the hole and get it out pain in the ***

I agree with 2000GT. Get a long extension and a swivel. You'll need the swivel for the last two on the passenger side. Works greats and you don't need to remove fuel rail.

I've changed spark plugs in my 95 GT, 2003 Lightning, 97 Saleen, my friends 2002 and 2004 GT and never had to remove the fuel rails. Spark plug socket, extension, maybe a swivel and your good to go.
