fuggers

I changed the plugs about 2 weeks before my wedding and by the end of the reception the scabs on my knuckles had broken open again from all the handshaking.

The job was a real pain but definitely worth it

Put the car up on drive-on blocks, did the drivers side just as fat as the pass side, did not remove battery, did it all from underneith. Highly recommend doing drivers side from under side , pass from above. Took 1 hr.

 

Plugs were in bad (worn but no signs of engine isues) shape, 40k on them.

 

Rear set of coils are starting to rust, both of them. Coils are actually spreading apart due to the corrosion. Anyone else having that issue yet? 123k on the car, but bottom engine cover, "skidplate", has had a missing cover since 40k...Look just like this one:

I just did my plugs and putting the car up on ramps helped strictly because of the increase in height. I don't see how being under the car helped you on the drivers side. The support directly underneath those plugs looks like it would have blocked most of the access. Kudos if it worked for you though.

A big plus to the guy that said to remove the wire clips from the coil packs and rotate them 180 degrees to get the rears out. Helped me a lot!

P.S. It took me 2.5 hours and I had never done it before.
