Help removing spark plug

[glock-coma]

Remove the nut that holds the cross pipe over the top of the engine from turbo to turbo. Then loosen the hose clamp that from that pipe to  The rubber hose and remove the hose from the plastic . This will let you slightly raise the cross pipe without removing it. You'll also have to unplug your blow off valve to relieve stress on the wiring harness.

Plug swap on a transverse engine = sucks ass!

Also try removing the strut tower brace.  That'll free up some space.

i removed everything including the strut bar and it's still stuck in there.  This is getting really frustrating.  It's such a tough angle.  All im getting is the top of the spark plug with the pliers or breaking off tiny pieces of the rubber boot.  It's stuck in there real good and i think im only making it worse.

EDIT:  GOT THAT MF'ER.  What a relief!!

Congrats!

I think you've earned a cold one for your efforts...

Total PITA, but still easier than swapping plugs on an 04 f-150.

First a cold water and then a cold beer and then some sleep.  Two hours struggling trying to remove a piece of rubber from my car in a tight and hot garage.  It drives you nuts when you're struggling with something, but it's such a relief when you figure it out and it finally gets done.

Thanks again all.
