You just mean they're hard to get to right? I agree on that one, it's a bit fiddly.

Plug socket with a long extension bar.... I guess that'd work for a V8 - i've only ever changed I6 plugs...

Take it somewhere and let them deal with the headf**k. Or try using a knuckle on your socket as well.

yeah i am used to I6, nice and easy.
But the 8 looks hard to get to, funny angle, will just persist with the sockets.
Guy at repco briefly said that he knew of something to make it easy, only reason i asked, but i think he was misinformed ..........
thanks
