I got at it from the side, wheels off. If I were to do it again, I think I can finish it in 2 hours and that's including polishing the bolts, greasing the muffler bearings.
Don't sweat the front most passenger plug, #3? You will need a 24" extension but a swivel connector is needed, 3/8 drive. Here's my set up. Plug socket (not just a 5/8 deep socket) because you will need that rubber holder, 8" extension, swivel, connected to the 24" extension then ratchet, in that order. If you did it that way, you can have a glass or wine in one hand, and a cig on the other hand, no crawling, no contortion of any of your upper body. I did all the plugs sitting on my tool box. The most difficult is to convince your wife to help you remover the heat shields. Only three bolts are holding it, not tight, 1/4 drive will do. Not need to remove anything else. It will come off but that's where you will need your wife's small hands. I have small pussy, baby smooth hands
and still mamaged to get that head shield off after a few min of trying. Its tight, but you will get it out.
Putting the plugs back will require the taping of the socket to the extension that's due to my new plug socket and the rubber thing in there is grippy. I had to remove the plug to get it out so i ended up taping it.
Getting the coils off will require you to get in there a bit but not too tight, so it isn't too bad. I made sure to use anti-seize on all the heat shield bolts so it comes off easy next time around.
I purchased a plastic plug pliers from Amazon for 15 bucks, I think. I didn't want to pry at it and need to cut down the on swearing while working on the car. Some of those coil plugs are a bit tight.
Siht, how can you not buy this for that price. I thought I got a smoking deal at 15
