roundthirteen Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So I read the how to on spark plugs, and fully warned it is a pita I set forth in total confidence that I wouldn't have any issues. So I got both passenger side coil packs off and the front drivers side with little issue but I can't get the back off. I can get the bolt out and the pack off the plug but how the hell was there ever enough room to move it in or out? Please help. I tried the using a small bar to get a little more space but that didn't help much. It doesn't help that I have hands like theTruckasaurus either.

vtbimmer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Pull it off the plug and spin it 180 degrees and down. Twisting of the coil is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roundthirteen Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Well I can get the coil pack and boot loose from the plug just not moved out of the way (out of the plug well) so I can get to the plug.

vtbimmer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 That's what I mean. Once its off the plug twist the coil and go down with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roundthirteen Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 So here is a dumb question for you. When I took the battery out i just pulled the tie down off and the battery/try/and the box around it. When I was putting the car back together I noticed the hooks for the tie down weren't hooked to anything. Where do they go? Pictures might help. I love that I just got done rebuilding an Eaton M90 supercharger for the car I'm selling but I can't find where the hooks for the battery on this car go in. I might be missing something.
