Ive been wanting to change my spark plugs on my '97 LGT sedan for a while now, but i can't seem to get at the back ones(the ones closest to the firewall). Anyone have any secrets or suggestions on how to do this? I'd really hate to pay someone to do it if i don't have to.

take out intake box tubing out of the way, as well as the washer bottle...you should have enough space after that.

You need either:
a sparkplug socket with extensions (3" and 6" work well) and a ratchet.

Put the sparkplug socket on first, then the 6" extension then the ratchet. Back it out as far as you can, then swap out for the 3" extension.

Alternatively you can get an extended length sparkplug socket from Harbor Freight tools for about $6. A swivel/universal joint socket head will help if you have big fingers.
