How do you change the spark plugs that aren't in plain sight on a '99 chevy malibu?

I have already changed the front three that are visible, but the ones in back are hard to locate. Any suggestions?
 
if it has a 3.1 v6 then on each side in of the front (towards the radiator) There is two motor mounts, they call them dog bones because the resemble a bones, the one on the left side of the car (drivers side ) you will see that there is a secondary hole about two inches towards the front (the the engine side) Take both bolts out of the top mounts then place a bar in the loop on the engine support drivers side and rock the engine forward and place the bolt that you removed into the secondary hole and back through the engine support. The rear plugs can be reached easily that way. Sometimes it helps to put the car in neutral and set the park brake and chalk the tires for the engine to rotate forward easy.
