Hay every one I just changed the spark plugs in the lib (liberty bl5) but found it impossible to get the passenger side rear plug out so I have 2 questions will it hurt the car in the short term till I can figure out how to get it out question 2 is there a easy or best way to get it out?

what is so hard about the LHR plug?
to get the coilpack out you may need to rotate it as you remove it
and with the right combination of extensions and a small ratchet, or even better, extensions with an external HEX and wobble heads on them, you can use a spanner on them for even more space and flexibility
it's not an old Holden you can't just use a 1/2" drive set to do everything

For coil pack engines I undo the engine mount and jack up the engine to give me more room.
Built not bought, it's a way of life.
