And if you have a tower strut, remove it first.

Laying on top of the engine helps too, just be careful not to strip the threads

lol ok sounds like fun

[jabartram]

its actually not that difficult, i can change my plugs in about 20 minutes.

give the engine plenty of time to cool off.. -plenty- of time to cool off

I got my hand stuck against the exhaust manifold somehow trying to get the socket I dropped.. it was still -very- warm..

If you are tall it always hurts a bit. I always time it to do while I am changing my oil so it is already jacked up. Being 6'5" and hunched over a lowered car is tough on the spine.
