Well after reading so many post's and thread's about how hard it is to change plug wires i think i will let you guys in on a trick!! it is sad too see it took someone 6 hours too change plug wires (lighting in a world of thunder) c'mon get a brain in that skull donkey! not to brag but it takes me about 32 min. give or take to change plugs and wires!! everyone knows that the wire by the tube is tuff! looks can be deceiving here is a money trick ready here goes!!!
1). the wire that runs by the oil feed tube disconnect from the plug
2). feed it up to the top along side the tube
3). break the seal of the boot (twist it side to side) with anything
4). with your right hand grab the boot
5). with your left hand take a flat head screw driver and push it off!!
6). it is just that simple Dont Be A Rikki

Getting them off isn't tricky, it's getting the boot to seal well when installing the new ones. Breaking the seal can be done just by yanking hard enough. Nothing special there. Took me about 90 minutes to do it by taking everything in the surrounding area out of the engine bay.

Ha ha. You FD guys and your insanely cramped engine bays. I can change my plugs and wires on my TII in under 10 minutes. Having no A/C or power steering helps a lot too.
It's never fast enough...

I've done mine in about 30 minutes, too, but my first time it DID take about an hour and a half or so. Once you do it x times, you basically start taking things apart because you know where it will all go once done.

I'm doing mine this weekend. With the help of the lil lady (and her little fingers) I can do it in under 30 minutes.
Chicks that dig cars and want to help are great!
If you have big hands it's a ***** -break out the tools and at least an hour. With small hands it can be done without taking anything off in less than 5 minutes - I've seen it done by a rotary specialist here in Tucson before my very own disbelievin' eyes! And yes, it was an FD3S!
