Best way to replace plugs on driver side 428 PI
« on: November 15, 2024, 02:28:14 PM »
I replaced the right bank 4-3-2-1 with new plugs and Marti plug wires. The drivers side looks even more daunting. Does the master, booster or support have to be removed or have people been successful using other methods, because it doesn't look good.

No the master and booster do not need be removed. I find it easiest to take off the export brace and remove the tall 67 GT500 valve cover. I use a spark pug socket that has a swivel made onto it and a 3/8 extension for easiest removal of plugs. Just what i have always done.

Thanks. Don't the shocks have to come out to remove the brace? I'll have to look again.
