Replacing spark plugs and spark plug wires

Hello,

I was wondering how difficult it would be to replace the spark plugs and their wires on my 04 V?

Thanks in advance.

I heard its pretty damn hard, relatively. I have some new plugs sitting in my room, just trying to find some time to get in there and put them in.

Hard?

Why?

Just pull the coil rails off, use a swivel socket, easy enough!

I'll let you know how it goes hopefully this weekend when I get the V back from service. Another lonely week without the V

the hardest part is removing the alumoinum spark plug covers...just get a hand on them and gent,ly but firmly wiggle up and down and they will slide off...def remove the coil packs first tho

ctv's have a nice engine compartment, not like us fbodies. changing the plugs is a little easier, especially with the coil packs off
