#8 Spark Plug = WOW
Ok so yesterday i changed out my spark plugs.. well 7 out of 8. the first 7 were easy and took me less than 3 hours. the last #8 plug was a royal B*TcH! I went at it from under the car, like i was told, got the socket on it, but couldnt get the wrench on the socket to turn it! i used a wobble attachment and even tried all kinds of extensions to get the wrench out from the engine bay lol but nothing worked! how are you guys changing it? help me please!

ya getting the number 8 plug wire was deffinitely the hardest and most time consuming but with a 1 inch extension and a ratchet with a swivel head i got out the plug in 2 min. the whole plug and wire change took me less than an hour on a car without headers.

Once you have a method it will only take you 45 minutes to get all 8 swapped out.
I have big hands so I remove both the coilpack AND the valvecover on the passenger side. A 1 3/4" extension makes life easy.
Although the water temp. sender makes things a little tight on #8.

I have an M6 and it literally took me 5min. to get the #8 plug from the bottom. I used a standard spark plug socket and a regular wrench. An automatic might be a little different.
