The easiest and simplest way to remove the rear plugs is to first remove the acoustic plastic engine cover steel bracket at the rear of the engine The two nuts are 13mm. To remove the #6 plug remove the O2 sensor with a 7/8" special socket. This will give you clear access to the plug since the sensor sits almost in front of the plug. When the plug is installed install the sensor back but be sure to coat the threads with thread sealant. Also, when installing new plugs put a thin film of dielectric grease on the porclin and a thin coating of anti-seize on the threads. This will allow easy plug and wire boot removal at the next removal. Exercisr these steps and the process will prove much easier.

^^^^^Good job with the recognition of it being an ancient dead thread. Save my trolling fingers the trouble of typing out a long witty retort to something meaningless. :th_thumbsup-wink:

Now you, Mr. IDGAF dead-thread raiser. Unless you have a Japanese Circus Midget for hire that does all this for you and then replaces the spark plugs while hes down in there. Those dinky brackets don't do squat for someone with big arms like myself. Laughable at removing the 02 sensor each time as well. Most don't have or even recognize a 02 sensor socket and if you can break off an 02 sensor in that tiny space with a wrench I think you deserve a reward for awesomeness.
If you want a quick, simply, time-saving, non-arm-scratching job... ratchet the motor forward and enjoy the extra room. Its amazing what 2 bolts and a simple strap can accomplish in alot less time than it takes to fight with a 02 sensor socket.
But thank you for the contribution. :th_peaceout:
