Default Replace spark plugs

Has anyone replaced the plugs on a 2000 malibu (or similar motor)?

I wanted to have the 6 plugs on my 2000 Malibu replaced and I was told
it would cost $191 to do it. Is there that much labor in the job?


Looking on the web ("spark plugs 2000 Malibu"), it seems as if the hardest
part is removing the sparkplug wires - they sometimes attach themselves like
a barnacle to the plugs. Plan on replacing the sparkplug wires along with
the plugs.

One poster said the easiest way to remove the back three was to drive the
car up on a ramp and attack the suckers from underneath.
