spark plugs and spark plug tubes

I replaced the plugs and spark plug tubes over the weekend. It wasn't too too bad. The 1" expandable boat transom as recommended by the Pedro Porsche DIY site was indispensable for both removing and re-inserting the tubes in the head. To insert the tubes, I needed to really lubricate the 'O' rings. I also put in the transom and pushed on it with the end of a hammer handle to seat the tubes. You can feel a distinct snap or release when the tube seats all the way. I could use the hammer handle for all six of the plug locations.
