Just here to say thank you to this thread. All the tips made changing the plugs on the OBXT a (relative) breeze with the right number of extensions/flex joints/spark plug sockets with the rubber removed.
The best tip was to remove or alter the rubber insert in the spark plug socket. I ended up using a spark plug socket with a loose rubber insert to get the threads started and took the rubber out completely to tighten all the way. Also loosening up the secondary air pump and associated hoses gave a lot of clearance on the drivers side.
