Cylinder #6 also has the ground strap nearby on the head. It's easier to access the coil pack if you remove this, but don't forget to reconnect.

since i bought this thing used a few months ago i haven't checked to see if the 60k service was done. i changed the oil, air filter and coolant so far. i just bought 6 oem coils, 6 oem plugs, and one belt for $305US. (i think i got a great deal)

OT: when i take off the left wheel, will that give me access to the fuel filter? i want to change that as well while i'm at it. thanks.

The fuel filter instructions are here.

I tried and failed to do this on my 99 Tip while on jack stands. I think I need a lift or to remove the cross member or trans support ? to get the filter out.
