Plug change in a C5

Is it easier or harder to change the plugs in a C5 compared to an LS1 f-body?

Re: Plug change in a C5

When I had my 98 Formula, I could do plug changes in 45min, are the C5s this easy?

Its probably a little easier on a C5, than on an F-body.

Re: Plug change in a C5

Having owned and changed plugs on both, I can say that the C5 is much easier. With a short section of 3/8" hose, the install is a snap. The one that will take the most time to tighten up is #8, however it is not even close to being as tight a fit as the #8 on an f-body.
