Hi,

Yea, if you're tapping a cold one in-between each Plug. Takes me 20 min. tops.

I label each CoiPak using Masking Tape 1-6 and remove them all at once. Then switch tools and remove all the Plugs at once, then insert all the new Plugs, torqueing each one, then replace the CoilPaks and torque them.

I jack up one side of the car and place a jackstand under it, this allows me to get under the car with a creeper, and I do have a long 5/8" Sparkplug Socket and a Speed Wrench which helps. And I use a Black & Decker cordless Ratchet to remove the CoilPak Screws which helps, but even using ordinary handtools, it should take no more than 30 min...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
