Remove the airbox and intake pipes, makes it a hell of a lot easier. It's still a s**t place to get at though.

I remove the airbox AND the fans, removing the fans gives HEAPS more room

To get the leads onto the distributor cap, I tend to use the handle end of a screwdriver through the top to lock the boots onto the nipples if you can't push down on them from underneath.

Llike said remove intake piping and air box. Go at them from underneath the manifold, not by trying to sqeeze you're hand through the manifold. It'll get stuck haha.
Once you get the angle its quite easy. Do one lead at a time so you don't stuff up the firing order. |

As far as routine maintenance goes, it's my opinion that replacing leads on these cars is the worst job to have to do.

take all the leads off the cap (its not that hard, just mark where no 1 is and sort the firing order from there) reason being, while leads are off, remove the cap and inspect it and the rotor, usually the carbon centre pin in the cap wear out and is often overlooked

Do one lead at a time so you don't stuff up the firing order. Even when I get at it from underneath, I tend to use the handle of the screwdriver to push it down to make sure it has actually clipped on. I don't take the intake out either sometimes...perks of having long and skinny hands.
