Default Replaced my plugs

It wasn't too bad, just removed the PVC hose on the passenger side, and the Cruise control cable and bracket on the drivers side, and reached in with my small hands. Had both hands in to work on the middle plug. The hardest part was getting the connector off the coils. Just like the rear air fuel sensor, tough to remove with one hand. Anyway the plugs look great after 130k. So it can be done with minimum removal of things. I've gotten alot of good info from this forum.

It's good to know that the rear plugs can be removed without moving a bunch of things. I definitely need to replace my spark plugs I have 150k on the original spark plugs right now.

I have small hands and am glad I don't need to remove the throttle body (even though I did do a DIY to show that aspect).
