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.

I only took off the tb and elbow, took me a total of 45 minutes to change plugs and wires. It is not hard.

If it took anyone 6 hours, they're a complete moron.

I dont even take the TB off - Just the elbow - takes me about 45 min for plugs and wires - you just need limber hands!

Just a stupid, off topic, question, but what does "Dont' be a Rikki" mean? I'll try to do step 6, but need more info.

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.

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 was just playing!
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!
