Longer coil pack bolts

I want the longer coil pack bolts, but don't have $80 to spend on them.

A shop in town has almost every bolt ever made......ever. (so it seems)

Can I get the same stuff there, or similar??

I'm most likely going to buy those bolts for $80.

But I had to ask.

I put my IT-22's in at 12k miles... still have them in nearing 70k... I guess others need to change the plugs more often but I could spend 80 on something else.

Oh well.

Your right for 80 bucks....., just use extensions once the 7MM torque is broke they spin right out with your fingers and then grab them with a magnet ...... my plugs go in and out in an hour.

i have no problem but i'm 5'7" 160lbs 23yrs old and nimble....some "older" less nimble guys with big hand have a hellofa time getting to the plugs. I also have the Denso and they are more $$ but last longer. some guys opt for the NGK (cheaper plug) that needs to be changed more often.

.....I'm slow-witted and clumsy when it comes to autoshop work. Since this is my only car now, I can't just take the daily driver to pep boys anymore.

I'm going to pay the $80, but I had to ask around for alternatives.

Plus this is my first plug change ever.

I am just a simple man trying to make a living selling software...

My point is I changed my plugs and it took about 2 hours for the whole thing... I am average in mechanical ability.

I can certainly understand taking it somewhere to have it done but it also sounds like you're not going to do it later yourself either...

Oh well... opinions... everyone has one and that includes me...

Go for it and enjoy...
