Changing Spark Plugs

Oh yeah, forgot about needing a cold engine to do this. So... if you can't get it then let me know and I'll grab a bunch of tools and come to you.

Thanks Mark, I might need to take you up on that if I can't get it.. I couldn't get to it today but I will give it a shot tomorrow.

Send me your phone number by private email so I can text or call you. I thought I had it but I can't find it

also has many other applications when working on these cars.

I also used a swivel head ratchet 1/4 inch with a short extension

Success!

Got up early this AM to beat the coming heat today and took on spark plug number 4. With suggestions from forum members, specifically thstone, I was able to use the Allen key and an extension to get enough torque on the upper coil pack bolt to break it free. Still very tight working in there but I finally got it out and pulled the coil and plug. Putting everything back was much easier.

I'm glad I don't have to do that again for a long time. Car is running beautifully.

Thanks again to all.
