Tools. Which ones?

made a search but could not find what I was looking for>

 

Its less than a two hour job if you get yourself setup with the right stuff... main one is a spark plug socket and extensions/universals (plus duct tape to hold them all together):



Rest of the stuff are things you should have in your toolbox... big issue is the gapping tool. The iridium tips can be brittle, and even with normal tips I prefer a wire type guage for accuracy... only special one is a 1/4" drive universal bend 7mm socket for the coil bolts

 

wow you used alot of tools

I used:

3/8 rachet w/ 6" locking extension, 3" locking extension, 3" normal extension, spark plug socket
1/4 rachet w/ 8" locking extension, 7mm socket with built in swivel.

 

Heh... I tried the few tools way first... about the second plug, after dropping the socket into the hole, I got creative. My setup has no binding when trying to tighten the plug, plus its quick. First plug took most of the time on the change, now I can do it in less than an hour total.

The 7mm universal is actually optional, as its really only used for one of the driver side bolts. A 7mm wrench could do that one, and use a normal 7mm socket on all the others.

 

Here's a past thread with Chuck's Tips:

I found the 7mm swivel socket to be well worth the $7 investment.

 

just my 2 cents worth but i would remove the fuel rail on the drivers side to get the 2 back plugs.just take the 2 bolts out and raise it enough to get to them.
