Changing Spark Plugs
Ok, I am halfway though this now, but I want to make sure I am doing it right.
Do I really have to remove the exhaust (Muffler/Cat) on each side to change the lower 6 spark plugs? Is there an easier way that I am missing?

I'm dropping the engine today and have spent the last afternoon removing all the exhaust and heat shields adn I cannon see any way to change plugs unless all this is done. It is not possible any other way. The good part is that the exhaust is not that difficult to drop.
I aslo suspect that since the driver's side lower valve cover has some older looking nuts, that the last time I had the valves adjusted, this one wasn't done as the heat shield had a few frozen fasteners.
Oh to have my old 2 litre S back again.......

Thanks Fred,
Your right, just finished it, and it really wasn't too bad. Once the exhaust parts are off there is plenty of room to change the plug easily. An I only broke one exhaust clamp bolt!
Thanks
