I apologize if this has been asked before but it seems to be a general problem- I would appreciate if someone could give me step by step on how to replace these plugs. It looks like a nightmare to me.
thanks :cry:

Half the nightmare is getting the plug wire boots off the plug without pulling the wire out of the boot. Try to give them a 1/4 turn before pulling and don't pull on the wire itself. When reinstalling them put a little dielectric silicone in the boot for next time. As far as removing the plugs, get a lot of extensions, universal sockets and band aids.

I thought that when you posted a question or problem on this forum that you were suposed to get some professional advise. What is the purpose of this forum anyhow. I see most questions go un-answered.
