spark plugs
Re: spark plugs I removed the back two ignition coils to make more room back there. I slipped the socket on the plug from above, then I went underneath to get the ratchet on it. This seemed to be a very easy way to do it. When I put it back in, I found it easiest to also remove the O2 sensor, then put it all in from underneath. You can look in between the exhaust manifold and the block to see if you have the plug aligned in the hole correctly when putting it in too.... Hope this helps out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: spark plugs you can get it out from the top
just gotta play with different extensions
sometimes i use the socket with the built in swivel, sometimes i use a regular socket
the first time i did a tuneup, it took 8 hours
i just did my second today, and took only 1.5 hours, most of that was just goofing off though
just make absolutely positive you put anti-seize on the new plugs, so the next time you only have to break them loose, and can finger them out
