okay you guys are going to think "stupid kid!!!" But i grew up working on old v8's and these new fwd 6's are a lot more trickey. This has to be the stupidest question asked but how exactly do you change the plugs in the back...i was talking to a buddy of mine and he said that he seemed to remember someone saying that you had to pull the engine out to change the plugs....but i didnt think so...so i thought i would ask you guys...any info would be helpful...and im learning lol. :oops: :P :shock:
You live over on Nebo? Either way, I've been told you can do it w/ no problems w/ out anything. But a very little person told me that. If not you will notice two little holes on the dogbones those are there so you can roll the engine forward and lock it in place, should give you enough room to do it. Not too many TGP's in Muncie. Only know where one lives and that is on Nebo.
I've done the plugs on my car twice since I bought it 4 years ago. The first time was much harder than the last, I spun off the alternator AND bracket with an air rachet. Took me 5 mins to do the rear plugs and another 5 to put the belt and alternator back on.
Just undo the two dog-bones on the front of the motor and roll the motor forward. I used to just use a motorcycle tie-down from the front dog-bone bracket to the hoist bracket and pull the motor forward. Simple as that. They also make a tool that looks like a wish-bone with a bolt in the middle to tilt the motor forward... 8)
