    Can someone point me to the thread that I have seen here and used before. I know there is one, or there was, I can't seem to find it no matter how hard I search. I always like to review it before I start the process to make sure I remember everything. The drivers side is a little harder from what I remember and you have to move something out of the way.

    Thanks!!

    Thanks, this is the 3rd time I've done this, did it in 55 mins, which included taking a break between heads and drinking a beer while doing it. I also didn't use a electric drill/driver, all wrench. I think that is pretty good for a desk jockey. It even started up and ran smoothly afterwards. The drivers side wasn't nearly as hard as I remember it the first time now. I found the little screwdriver works great on removing the clip on the coil. Just push up and wiggle with other hand.
