REALLY Stupid Spark Plug Question....

How the hell do we get ours out? There's so much crap in the way, plus they have all sorts of weird wires on them (direct ignition I assume).

Take the bolt/screws off the ignition coil, pull it out, then get a SP wrench and take them out.

I just replaced mine yesterday. The fronts are easy, a 20 minute job at most. The rears are a royal pain, 1+ hours. I needed two 8inch extensions and a 3" for my ratchet as well as needle nose pliers and a magnet to retreive the coil pack screws once I loosened them. Getting the coil pack from under the throttle cables is the worst, then getting them all back in was a challenge too.

Loosen the throttle cables or loosen the bracket for the throttle cable to get to the upper right SP. The other two in the back are pretty simple to get to.

Cool... thanks guys. Maybe I can get a look at them and make sure they're looking good.
