I didnt need to take off air filter housing at all only thing i removed was the battery cable cover. Job is ALOT easier then I thought...

 

Yeah when I read some of the DIY's saying it took like 4-6 hours I was expecting a lot worse too.

Yep, cabin air filter housing is optional, but made it a little easier on me and was easy enough to remove

 

Thanks for all the replies. I was able to replace plug 8. I didn't have time to replace plug 4. Can you elaborate on what you mean by removing the battery cable cover? I saw it on one of the DIY's but wasn't clear on what exactly needs to be removed. I undid the one plastic nut that holds the cable but was unable to move anything out if the way. When I open the battery positive cover I see a 13mm bolt. Do I need to remove that?

 

If you follow the battery cable from the positive jumper terminal. There's a thin black cover that bolted on to the car with a plastic nut. Once you unscrew it you can remove the plastic piece it was holding. You cant miss it, I remember seeing a post where someone didn't have one that might be your case but I doubt it.

 

I'm going to tackle plugs in mine soon. Hopefully I won't run into issues.

 

Quarta2six,

Thank you for the info! I will try to tackle cylinder 8 tonight as time permits. Other than undoing the one plastic bolt, is there anyhting else I need to remove? Once the bolt is off the whole bracket will come out?

 

Yup, it's jus a small plastic piece.

 

Just ordered my plugs from Amazon for $40 for 8. The rebate states I should get $3 per plug for a max of $24. So final cost should be $16 for all 8 plugs!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for posting this deal.
