Spark Plug Removal Problem
Since the odometer of my 2004 Boxster just rolled over into 60K miles I decided to replace the oil and filter, front brake pads, brake fluid and spark plugs. No difficulties with the first 3 jobs, however, I was only able to replace 4 of the 6 spark plugs.
I was unable to get the T40 bit inserted in the top bolt holding the coil and tube of the front plug on each bank (cyl. 1 and 4?) On the left side there is a annoying tube that keeps getting in the way and on the right side the top T40 bolt is practically invisibly hidden in a black hole.
After more than an hour of trying and scraping the skin off my arms I finally gave up.
My question is: Is there a special way to accomplish this task? I'd sure like to know about it. Btw. I had the car on a high heavy duty jack with both rear wheels removed along with the small "fender flaps".
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
