Spark plug change!

[Purch1977]

Guys I know these cars are 14+ years old but how the hell do you change the lest hand front plug without ripping your arm?

flexi head extension bar to crack it off then just use a ratchet for the rest. or use a 22mm copper pipe over your ratchet handle once it's cracked.

personally I just jam my arm in lol

I got my mechanic neighbour to do mine and he was not amused, lol.
Most posts on here recommend removeing the flexible splash guards under the wheel arch, they are held on with push in fixings, then you can get at the plugs from the side rather than go in from the top.

Still think the left had front would be a pig to get at!!

You wanna try getting to my left hand front, my gas pipes are pretty tight round that area but with a bit of patience it's manageable.

The second time I removed my front tires and the splash guards, it was a piece of cake.

The first time I did it from the top (before I found this wonderful forum). I almost broke down and took it to a dealership!
