project after the brake fluid change.

Miguex:

Since I just paid to have mine done at the stealers, how about posting a DIY fro start to finish for all 8 plugs?? LIke you said, the more pix the better. I know several folk who want to try this and I didnt have the b**ls too but maybe with a good DIY it is not bad to try...

I had to move one of the hoses out of the way to get the coil out but it was easier than #4. This is a great write up and DIY thanks to the OP.
