Help - scared to death of changing plugs myself PART II Well everyone, a fellow f-body lover 35th SS spent a good part of his Sunday helping me switch to NGKs TR55's and MSD spark plug wires
It took him about 2 1/2 hrs and was able to reach dreaded number 8 from the top! He's a master with a crescent wrench <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Also, I learned the secret is to take your time, have the right tools (we even needed a crowbar to re-install my strut-tower brace ...and used the hollow handle of a hydraulic jack to place over a socket wrench in order to get more leverage), take off the coil packs and have a friend to help you out!
thanks 35thSS

Re: Help - scared to death of changing plugs myself PART II Glad to hear everything came out ok. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I remember all of us cheering you on a while back. I was wondering if you ever got around to doing it. See, it wasn't that bad. Now, get you some headers and get baptized in the fire!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
