Did Search, no help.
I did pass side plugs without major hassle.
Driver side.
Rear plug is completely covered by thick harness run.
How do I get to the plug?
I do not believe, coil will come out without harness moved quite a bit, so how do I move harness? There's zip tie that holds it to some sort of bracket right across the coil, and then master cylinder blocks any view at where it's connected to the engine block. Cut zip tie and then re tie after done?
The other 3 plugs I see no issues, just managing some tubes and that harness to a different position.
I need to r/p it tomorrow am.
Thank you for insight.

I did it about an hour ago.
Didn't even have to remove harness.
Removed engine cover, that opened more space from the top to reach there, removed AC line from the bracket, for even more space, had to lay down on the engine, pretty much, to reach all the way back.
Took about 45 min slow pace. A must is a thin walled 14mm deep socket with magnet and variety of socket extensions. It's awkward angle and large can on the master cylinder side blocks reach but not bad, just tedious and awkward.
#1, 3 and 5 were no problem, just move surrounding hoses and harness a bit here or there.
