Do the "˜professionals' use a power tool to remove the spark plugs ?
Trying to change my plugs I found the drivers (right hand) side easy to get at when the air filter and cover were removed. The plugs were very tight but with room to move I could just about get them out. Putting the new ones in was easy. They were in a very sad state and looked like they had not been changed for ages.
When it came to the left hand bank I just could not get the leverage on the Allen key on the furthest plug and there is not the room to turn on the front 2 ! So I have so far only managed to replace 3 plugs !
Do the professionals use an air tool, or something else to turn the plug spanner without having to physically move the wrench backwards and forwards, or do I have to strip loads out of the way to get room to move ?
