A several of years ago, I paid a well known shop to change my plugs. When I did my 1st engine drop and changed them myself a couple years later, the original factory plug was still in this one.

They're made by multiple mfgrs. I think mines a snap on. Go to "Tool Topia", or Amazon. Maybe 20 bucks, but more than worth it. I used to have anxiety, knowing I needed to do my plugs. I am not so stressed about it now. My biggest fear was losing or breaking something down in the unseen abyss. This thing slides in easily, seats perfectly and sits at the VC where you can see it when it's seated. No more multiple attachments. I actually still have most of the skin on the back of my hands now, after doing the plugs.

i Dit it.
JM993 Posted on it. See:
"Just Replaced All Spark Plugs W/O Taking Anything Apart!!!! "
Then I added to his Post starting at #26 on Page 2 with Pics (on Pg 3) of what I used to Remove the "Bitch Plug"
Its all about Angles - the right angle, thin wrist, long fingers / forearms and the right combo of tools.
Have a Read - It can be done without removing anything.

Well, changed the plugs today. 4 lower is awkward but can be done just by loosening the rubber hose to the heat exchanger.
The "bitch" plug - I probably wouldn't do it again to be honest . Arm is quite sore. Didn't use any fancy air tools just a couple of knuckles and extensions taped up . Was quite unfortunate to suffer a knuckle disconnecting in the hole.
Retrieving it and getting the loose plug connected is one of the more stressful tasks I've been faced with on a 911. Not nice. Hand shake moment.
My arm is swollen up and my wrist aches. A few nicks.
Job done. Probably never again. Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it. Car purring away nicely, definitely sweeter .
