Spark Plug Sticker on the Refrigerator
New Spark Plugs in the Monte.
Got my butt organized and cut the time it took me, last time, down by a day.
Two days. Not bad.
Adding a small step ladder, a pillow, a sleeping bag and a fender cover helped.
Wrapping a 3/8" Universal Joint Extension with Vinyl Electric Tape so it don't flop-over on you ... helps.
Ratchet Strap.
Sears Ratcheting Torque Wrench ... helps.
I unbolted the Front Motor Mounts and used the Ratchet Strap on the Ending Pulling Bracket and yanked the Engine away from the firewall.
Unplugged stuff that might break.
Laid the Pillow over the Strut Bar.
Doubled the Sleeping Bag and climbed-up the ladder and made myself at home.
Couldn't see the Plugs.
Did most of it by "Feel"
Once I got the Boot off the Plug ... I put a Spark Plug Socket, short extension and the "Taped-up U-Joint" on the Plug and set the Torque Wrench 75-Pounds and the Ratchet to Undo and broke loose the Plug.
Switched to Regular Ratchet ... pulled the Plug.
Rubber Hose Tricked the Installation after a liberal coat of AntiSeize.
Managed the Back-side in one day.
Got the front today.
Done.
Did a Cabin Filter and Engine Air Filter ...
Chalk me up as ready for Summer.
Started her up ... No Codes.
Mission Accomplished.

I could see the tool list for a top swap now... 10mm socket, 3/8" ratchet, 500' chain (for what??), Chinook helicopter with lower tow hook (ok, I see about the chain now), plasma cutter, fire truck (in case the plasma cutter gets out of hand right?)
lol, j/p

Holy jeez, 2 days for plugs? Definitely mark doing a top swap off your list, lol
