Changing Spark Plugs

[mdfan]

98 Olds Intrigue: How do I get at the back 3 spark plugs? Metal tubes around wires are stuck and there is a sensor mounted in the exhaust manifold that is blocking one of the spark plugs.

Probably been a while since these were removed? Twist the wires a few times to loosen them, then try to pull them off. You may have to get a little aggressive with them. Once the wires are off, you can get a plug socket and ratchet on them, just have to find the right angles. I recall some require a short extension or maybe no extension at all. Good luck!

yes, defiantly a variety of extensions are required...i had to use a few combination's to get the right fit from the firewall. The sensor is close but not 100% in the way. I found physically laying on top of the engine was the only way i could do it

thanks..sometimes I can dig myself a hole due to taking off things that I really don't need to take off!
