just changed plugs for first time

I just changed the plugs in my car for the first time. Actually it was the first time I have ever changed the plugs in anything. Man you guys werent kidding about that #8 plug it was a pain. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Thanks to everyone one here and installuniversity.com I knew just what i was doing ( and what to expect ) and got it done in just under 3 hours. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> The car idels smoother now and I can feel a difrence when getting on it too. Now just watting for my air lid and shifter to come in and I should be set! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

About 45 min here start to finish. I left the last bolt off the passenger coil pack bracket. No need for it and it saves major time.

Re: just changed plugs for first time

I dont know why you guys had such a problem with the last coil pack bolt. I just stuck a ratchet in there with a deep well socket and took it right off.When i got done I put it back on too. It wasnt a porblem at all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: just changed plugs for first time

My hands and arms are way to big to get the #8 coil pack bolt off. My g/f did it for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
