Basic Tech : Changing Spark Plugs
All - I know, I know...simple....unless you haven't done it before! Hopefully, this will help others too.
So, my question is, how do you change the spark plugs from the top? Pictures would be helpful, too, if you have them.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

This job can be very simple, especially if you don't have cruise control. Just take a 3/8" ratchet wrench and reach in under the throttle elbow and do it one-handed. I change them one at a time to prevent getting the wires crossed. I guess if you have big arms this might not work, in which case you should lift the front and do it from below.
If you want to change plug wires, it gets more involved since the plug wires are very crowded where they fit on the ignition coils. Then you have to remove the throttle elbow, throttle body, and maybe the oil filler neck.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I got two of them *fairly* easily with a little contortion....but the rear two... yikes.
How the hell do you get to them?
Thanks,
Chris.
