Plugs and Wires sounds easy huh??

I finally did it. YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

HotZ28 I did try the gloves even before I read this and that is what actually worked. My wrist was getting raw rubbing up against something sharp so I put the gloves on and turned into the HULK.

Car has new plugs and wires finally.

Now on to the rear brakes for next week.

Hope this isn't too late, use a pair of channel locks. Drop them down and catch them with one hand, set them on the boot and position them so you get some leverage. PUSH the metal wire boot toward the block to get some more room. I used the wire harness that runs along the back there. Mine were on there sooo good, the clip from the wire came off and was on the spark plug after the boot and wire separated. I got the drivers side off from underneath the car and reached up through the exhaust tunnel. You can't get the plug socket on from there but you can sneak your hand/arm from the top. Good Luck

I just replaced my spark plugs today. Wasn't that hard in my opinion. I probably looked like an idiot. I got on top of the radiator/condensor cover to access my back plugs. I guess it took me about an 1.5 hours to complete the job. and I was taking my time. But I did start with the back plugs first.

Now that I've had some time to reflect upon the job....It's not that it was a "hard" job, the problem was, those plug boots weren't coming off. Even the front ones were caked on the plugs. When I did get the boot to come off, the metal wire clip would separate from the wire, inside the boot, and remain on the plug. Needless to say, the back plugs were much more difficult getting a grip on them to pull hard enough. Then once I did get them off, I had to get pliers down there to pop the metal clips off. I'm sure if I did them again, I could do it in under a half hour. opcorn:
