I've been told that you have to disconnect the motor mounts and tilt the engine to change the rear spark plugs on this car. Even Hilton's mentions it in their manual. However, they do not tell you how to accomplish the task. So how, if needed, do you tilt the motor, and then return it back?

Yes that the way you remove the upper mounts and tilt the motor forward
to gain access to the rear spark plugs
it will be tight but manageable
good luck
