I'll have to agree w/ Todd's method.  The first time it took me 2 hours to
change the plugs, and now that I've taken off the rubber flaps, there is no
need to remove the tires/fenderwells and I can get to all 6 plugs - no
problem.  The only thing you will need is a 10" extension and a 3/4 open end
wrench (for plug # 3) along w/your spark plug socket and ratchet.  If we all
get enough practice at changing the plugs, maybe this could be a timed event
at the KC gathering next year :)
