Impossible!

[rubberman]

There is not way i can get to the back plugs. I have the engine tilted forward and still cant get my hand back there. I cant find the back two bolts to remove the coil packs either.

Rubberman it is VERY difficult but it is possible. I did it last week.
You must reach back behind coil pack and you will be able to remove"2" bolts which hold coil packs. It is a bit of stretch and need thin arms and lots of cursing.
One piece of advice it helps when you have a mirror.

As the Sherlock Holms said " When you eleminate all the impossible whatever may appear impossible is possible"

i think i can see the back left bolt. It looks as if its a bolt sticking up with a nut holding the alum. bracket. The back right i can see nor find. My hand must be too big cause i cant get it back there. Im about to say hell this this plug change. WAY too much work involved to change the back 3.

The other bolt is exactely same about 4 inches further in.
First remove the one you can see then reach in from left to right behind coil pack. I had to do mine since it had 180,000 km on the plug. Now it should last me until it dies.

rubberman,
If you have a floor jack, one thing that helps is to place the floor jack under the front part of the engine cradle, remove the two front cradle bolts, then drop it a bit. Of course you will have to have the front part of the van on engine jacks. I wouldn't try this with anything but a 2 ton jack.

Hope this helps.
