That's true. I had a 97 Z28 and it was a bitch to work on.

Spark plugs are one of the worst things to do.... I've heard the starter is tough too, good mine still works . Mine doesn't have those 2 pesky rear spark plugs that yours did though, a plus for working on it and filling up at the pump

worst thing on the 5th gen I've found so far was putting in a skip shift eliminator after being driven for a long time.... the tranny was HOT and I burned both arms on each cat . Oh and taking off a brake caliber.... they put this nice chunk of metal to hit your fingers on when the bolt finally breaks loose
