You're looking for plug wires, aren't you? You dont have plug wires, you have "coil packs", basically a small ignition coil for each plug..........

My 2006 Charger has this also, except my coil packs have two leads each, since my car has dual plugs in each cylinder

If your spark plug socket doesn't pull the plug up, reinsert the coil pack until it attaches to the top of the plug(forms a good grip) then extract both.

The only way to go! I couldn't find three out six of mine until I looked on YouTube and found out they were under the intake manifold...

I learned how to take the entire grill off my jeep to put light guards on by a youtube video. The directions and owners manual were no help at all.

I had a '92 S10 4x4 that I couldn't find the oil filter.
I was all up under the truck I even took the skid plates off.
After a couple of days I pop the hood, look near the fender well and nearly in plain site is the oil filter. previous owner moved it to make it easier. I was scratching my head for a couple days.

Some S-10s actually had filter relocation right from the factory.

My son had a 2005 Audi S4. Very nice car.. Serpentine belt broke. No problem I said. Changed many of these things. (Never on an Audi) Piece of cake I said. He googled how to change a serpentine belt on a 2005 Audi S4. Printed it out. 26 pages later the printer stopped. WTF I said. Lets do this. Well, 8 hours later we backed it out of the garage with the new belt in place. Had to almost take the whole front end off. Once when we could see where the belt went, I had to get under the car while he snaked the belt down to me and then we had to torque it down and then put the front end back in place. I am sure an Audi mechanic could have done it quicker but it was a real bit(h.

Like glhs said it was done from the factory. i want to say a majority of the 4.3L and 2.8L built after 89' had it. Nice easy location, messy as all hell though.

I took to cutting down a 2 liter soda bottle and slipping that up the filter and squeezing it to unscrew the filter, that would contain about %98 of the mess.

Things like that are many times in a chapter in the repair manual; the publication you don't get with a new or used car. You have to buy that separately; either from a dealer or from someplace like Federated Auto Parts/Hayden's. The owner's manual usually just tells you what's where.

I'm picturing you using the top half of the soda bottle, forgetting to leave the cap screwed on; complete with an "AW SH*T!"
But, I know you were talking about using the bottom half.
