I have heard that to change the rear plugs you can tilt the motor forward. How is this acomplished. I do not feel like fighting those rear plugs like I did last time.:shakehead

You must remove the front motor mounts and then with the car in park push the car backwards and the engine should rotate. Sometimes you have to rock the car to get it to move. You can do this job with a short extension and a universal but it is tough. Also they make a tool called an engine tilter that you can purchase and install on the engine in place one of the upper motor mounts. This is designed to rotate the engine forward.
