Big thanks goes out to all the spark plugs threads on this forum. I know a lot of times people get chastised for asking about something in the FAQ or DIY section, or that has been asked a 1,000+ times, HOWEVER I read through all of the spark plug threads I could find before tackling the job, and on each thread normally learned someone else's tips and tricks to get the tricky back plugs out.

Because of all the threads I made sure I had everything I needed right on hand, took me about 3 hours (Taking frequent beer breaks, and having very little light to work with). It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but me having a little extra reach (6'5") probably helped a good bit too.

Now I'm by no means looking forward to the next change, but hey it's nice to know you can DIY and should be a bit easier next time....

Mad props again to DF!!!

 

Glad to hear you were able to get through it with no problems.

 

Yeah, thats what this site is all about. It's amazing what you can learn on here by just taking the time to search and read. Good deal!

 

I'm not 6'5" and my truck ate me LOL.

Al.

 

i'm 5'10". i just sat on top of the front crossmember...

yea it really wasn't as bad as it sounds sometimes. just takes patience and an assortment of extensions

 

I am 6'2" and 230, but when I did my 05 Hemi I did the same thing (sit on the cross member). IT WAS A SNAP that way. Another tip, put a blanket up there as well.

 

Heh heh heh.............if you look closely, you will see the two blankets I'm, using.
One for the gut.....and one for the knees when I kneel on the front bumper.
It's a killer without the blankets!
