changing spark plugs

[tim sewald]

Are there any special tricks or tips to changing the plugs on the passenger side of a hot air? I have done it in the past but I was 40 lbs. lighter and had more patience.

Thanks Tim

I just did this last weekend for the first time. The easiest way i found was to unblotht he up and down pipe from the turbo, so they have a little play in em, and use an extension and a universal-joint style ratchet adapter... I really didnt have too many problems. Maybe unbolting the pipes was overkill, and there may be an easier way, but this is how id did it, and it worked just fine!

Use a spark plug socket with a rubber gromet in it and a universal with three six inch extensions for the back one and when you do the front 2 use just the same socket with a 3 inch extension put the socket on first without the extension or ratchet then click them on the socket works easy for me takes me 5 - 10 min to change that side like that its easy for me and i have a 2 1/2 inch dp good luck

I always just jack the car up enough to take the weight off the suspension and get to the plugs through the wheel well. Take the wheel off and it is easier. Hal
