Any better way changing plugs 5L
Trying to change plugs and leads what a shit spot, does every one else just work around that tight spot??
Which tight spot are you referring to? The side with the ABS unit or near the distributor cap?
Compulsive.
Yeah I'm talking about the distributor cap very tight for my hands.

what i find helps, is that sometimes the rotor button can be pointed in a direction where it catches the dizzy cap as u try to lift it out. just wind the motor over a bit until the rotor button is out of the way, that or pull the rotor button off.
that and u will find there is a bit more room to get the dizzy cap out on the drivers side of the manifold, move it across a bit before u try to lift it up and out.

Cause i was thinking i had to pull leads off in the position it is, Cheers
Make sure the engine is cold. Take off the engine covers and tie back the heater hoses for more room. Place some padding across the inlet manifold and front of the car/radiator. Lie across the engine from the front and you will have enough room (just) to get the distributor cap off. Make sure you replace the leads into the same position. Make sure you also replace the distributor cap and rotor at the same time. You don't want to do this again for a long long time:
normaly i leave me covers on and start around no 4 on the dizzy and start working me way around even though im not following the firing order as u norm would i no it where every one lays and work me way to the back of the motor back towards the fire wall when i do mine i use to hate getting around me abs but got use to it when it came to me plugs
Sweet, while car goes up a hill, well under load it has a miss, so should repace dizzy and rotor, so once cap and leads are gone to get the rotor out on other post it suggests wiggle and pull hard, guessing new one should just slide in, thanks for the help. Feeling alot more confident now
I love when guys ask this question!!!! Lol
I remember Reaper sayin he doesn't understand how we all complain
About it. I hate it.
I recently had to change the dizzy after the hall affect sensor shat itself
I found pull ur bonnet off, fan and shroud and enjoy urself.
Btw Blackvxgts that's the most helpful pic I have ever seen where did u get that from
i also pull the bonnets off, arrange the leads on the cap before you put the cap on the dizzy and your in buisness!!
bonnet off = 2 mins of your time and will save atleast 15 mins of time
