Sounds like you are doing your 120K service!
I did the fuel filter with the car jacked up and it was still a PITA.
The fact that it is pretty much in the middle of the car made me kind of paranoid while I was under there.
+1 on removing the wheels for the spark plugs. You might want to check Pedro's garage for some guidance on changing the rings on the spark plug tubes. Mine were more flat than round. Check for oil on the spark plugs as an indicator.
