So I have these lovely plugs from Torrie .. But looking at the back cylinder head I am thinking I need to see a guide before attempting.

am I assuming correctly that the CoP will NOT fit out UNDER the cross member and what looks to be part of the Tubing for the turbo?  I need to see how much I need to peel off the back cylinder head before even attempting (i'm a planner) ..

I have tried a few searches for 'guide' + 'plugs' and 'change plugs' and a few iterations of that but the search limiter is making it very frustrating to wait 30 seconds between attempts.

assistance greatly appreciated ?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

the guide appears to leave the cross member in place.  is it safe to remove?  or will the body flex and not allow me to re-attach it?

i'm thinking of just getting some things out of the way ..

pro-tip.  Get a pair of 6+ inch long needle nose pliers.  when the CoP boot rips in half ... on the drivers side BACK cylinder... it is neigh impossible to get ti out with a pair of screw drivers. 

other than that .. did it, done.  2 hours to do it as I needed a extra trip to the store in a second vehicle. :P .. glad I did it though.

I don't attempt plugs without a few picks, needle nose pliers and 3-4 replacement boot insulators.

Interesting... All the rubber insulators at the top on my COP's were all messed up as well.   All except one I believe. I am 2010 as well btw.

If you can get them off without damaging them, a little bit of dielectric grease in the tip of the boot prior to reinstalling makes them MUCH easier to remove for plug changes down the road.
