spark plug removal

Can someone tell me the easiest way to get to the spark plugs? I wanna do the atf trick but my power steering pump and a/c are really hard to work around. Any tips will help, thanx P.S. my power steering doesn'y even work, but i don't feel like taking it off today. Also, i heard of something i can use that is less harmful thab atf, but has the same results. can someone clue me in on that as well pleez? thanx

I've never had a problem removing the spark plugs. Just reach in and remove.

As for the atf trick, there are quite a number of threads abot this. For the atf substitute, I think you're talking about carb cleaner.

Here is that particular thread.

It would be hard to get those plugs. However, just remove the plugs and put a hose in that spark plug hole.

Maybe you can put a t fitting in that hose. Possibly find a fitting that would have one of the fittings that comes to a fourty five degree angle to the hose going to the engine. and then in that hose spray a little compressed air. Maybe that would force the fluid into the engine?

I am sure it would pour just fine into the engine though.

Also, dont forget Leftie Loosey Righty Tighty
