All the swearage. I assume I’m gonna want to pull fender liners and all? The top 8 should only take 20 minutes or so, but I’m guessing the bottom 8 will be hours. Anyone know why it’s got 16 plugs cause all the other V8s seem to be doing fine with 8.
the bottom at the shock tower on the passenger side is the hardest. go buy or borrow a snap on or matco swivel sparkplug socket set. will save you massive amounts of time. i believe one set of 8 plugs is emissions related. nothing fancy other than the fact that its an extra 8 effin plugs.

Don’t think a Ujoint extension would do the job?

it does, i have done it 3 times with one, needs to be the right length though. i have the matco set and the extensions are specific lengths so they match the vehicle and dont stick up too far or are too short. otherwise you are using a spark plug socket on a small swivel extension to fit in the hole, and then adding another extension once its in, etc. just makes life easier

Kinda the nature of the setup, smushing (yes that's a technical term I just learned in BJJ) a semi-metallic object into a spinny metal disc...I dunno, bed 'em more with some high-speed panic stops?

Yeah ive got many miles on them, that was a slow turn no brake until the stop. Now if the shop actually gets to it so i can go from there would be nice.
