Changing plugs

All of the above is (sadly) true.

To get at the right-bank plugs you have to remove the air intake hose and it helps a lot to remove the air injector hoses, which are just a screw-clamp and not too difficult to get at.

Once those are removed, the plugs are fairly easy to get but sometimes a flexible socket adapter helps.

Always work on a cold engine (duh) and because of the right-side plug-reaching hassle, I do that side first because the other side is easy with almost no obstructions and takes about five to ten minutes to complete, allowing me to finish the job on a positive note.

FYI: I change plugs about every 12-15,000 miles.
