3)Jack up side of car, remove rear wheel, remove wheel liner and TADA!!! 3 plugs staring at you. You will need to contort a bit to get the tools in there but it is NOT difficult and you do not do this from the top of the motor access.

--This is a very easy DIY. Give it a try and once you do plug #1 you wil fly through the other 5!

Good luck!
Hi,

Agree. Access is easy, especially from underneath (disclaimer - use proper stands, etc.). I changed mine b4 storage last fall and it took about 15 min. I think it's easier from underneath than from the side through the wheel well. Had no clearance issues at all. Be sure to use the proper torque so you index the plugs properly. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
