Default 1995 e350 7.5L (ford 460 CI) spark plug change

Has anyone done this? Its literally insane thus far i have 7 of 8 plugs done. Its a hell of a job and my knuckles are raw from the tight spaces haha. The one I dont even know how to attack is the passenger side front plug. This vehicle is a shuttle bus so it has alternator and extra batteries and all kinds of stuff in the short hood so its impossible to get it from. From underneith you cant even see or get to the plugs. From inside you can barely see the plug boot and cant reach. The only other place seems to be the wheel well but i cant even imagine trying to get the plug boot on and off.

Any input would be appreciated -
Happy easter - Mark

I don't know if there is any more or less room to work on that passenger side front plug on a 460, but on a 5.8 it helped to remove the battery from that corner. It was still a stinker, but at least you were able to get at it.
It'll be a Happy Easter when you get it done!

Im thinking about trying to put a hole saw thru the wheel well and cut an access panel. Change the plug then screw a piece of sheet metal over the hole. wat you think about that?
