demon77 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 I was reading my haynes repair manual and it says to change the back plugs you need a special tool to get a heat shield off do you? Quote
sl3196 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Bull! Here's how to do it: Push in the heat sheild and then twist the fuck out of the spark plug wire boot. Should hear or feel a pop. Then just yank real hard. Make sure you pull on the boot not the wire! Also I took off that engine bracket that holds the engine cover on, much easier access. Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 LOL, me and my friend need to change the plugs and wires on his car tommorow too! Ohh the Irony!!! Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 SL, can you unbolt the dogbones and then rock the engine forward then put the bolt thru a hole on the coil pack to hold the engine forward while doing the rear plugs? Quote
sl3196 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 SL, can you unbolt the dogbones and then rock the engine forward then put the bolt thru a hole on the coil pack to hold the engine forward while doing the rear plugs? Yeah but the hole is on the mount coming off the engine. Also take off that bracket in the rear that holds on the engine cover (2 bolts) make is alot easier. Quote
john99gtp Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 good lucj its such a pain if the boots havent been off, i took needle nose to my rear ones. they were such a bitch. and just rock the engine forward and put the parking brake on, that will be fine. i worked around that bracket that holds the engine cover on, just watch out for the o2 sensor, its a bit sharp Quote
sl3196 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 John I can do the plugs without rotating the engine after taking that bracket off. (just an fyi) Quote
john99gtp Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 ooooo arent YOU special I like working with the extra room though of tilting it, plus, my engine cover is on right now, stupid winter Quote
sl3196 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 You get the same amount of room with that bracket off. (but what do I know?) Oh yeah engine covers suck! Quote
john99gtp Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 meh, they dont suck that much. im keeping it on cause of my damn TStat, with it off it takes forever and a day to warm up. with it on it only takes forever and you know NOTHING!!!!!!?!!! Quote
