Default #8 Plug

Did anybody else have to remove the passenger cat to get to the #8 plug from underneath a 2k1 Z28?

Its easier to remove the coilpack assembly, at which point you will be able to remove the #8 plug.

i changed the #8 plug form the bpttom of the car, you do not have to remove the cat, just make sure that the car is cool before you do this. i think that it is easier form the bottom since you dont have to remove the coil packs.
