quick question about 3.0 engine

**IronAudi** · 06-11-2008 07:30 AM

Im going to replace all the plugs in my engine, i looked at it and it seems that the rear driver plug is going to be a bitch to get too, can anyone give me some tips on taking it out easily or do i have to remove the coolant Res?

IIRC you dont have to remove the reservoir just unbolt it and it should move around enough to get to it.

just one screw (philips head) on the foremost part of the tank. remove that then pull up on the tank from the front and gently pull the rear (closest to firewall) tab out of the metal holder.
