fixed.


Get the right combo of extensions, universal joints,and some cuss wordsto loosen it up. Then just take the socket off the ratchet when it is loose and use the socket and your hand to finish taking it off.

Installation is the reverse of removal - just make surethere's some anti-seize on the threads.

Anything but bosch, bosh is great for pinging, detonation, sluggisness, rough idle etc...

Anyway all the plugs on the passenger side are easy! The driverside plug closest to the inside of the car / whiper cowl seems to be the hardest.

Ive got bosch iridium fusions in mine. Never seem to have a problem on anything maybe I lucked out. Just thought I'd share the info. I noticed quite a bit in takeoffs and such and high rpms. Seems like it added some power even though its probably a very slight slight add.
