For around $30 you can buy the tester and do it yourself...and have the tester in your toolbox for next time

yes but what about that plug all the way in the back on the passenger side, I can barely change the plug never mind get that hose in there. LOL

pretty easy,, just hold the end strait on the block and the hose acts as a bendable extention,,, hence the plug trick people use to start there plugs into the block in hard to reach areas,,, some use a piece of rubber hose on the end of the plug.
