expansion plugs are deteriorating and leaking, have bought kit. Don't have room to remove and replace, or perhaps am missing right tools to do it myself. Don't want to remove exhaust manifold and injection assembly, is there a way to do this without taking all this off? , and Sorry am unemployed and dont own credit card, otherwise would gladly donate for your time, and much appreciated help. Thank you

not really there are a few at the back of the engine that you cant get at.

you are going to have to pull the engine to do it.

if you do it with it in vehicle you get at an improper angle and that just doesnt work because the plugs will leak constantly if you manage to get them to stay in.
