    Seems to be less work too...
    Why pull it right to bits for no good reason.

    Instructions also tell you to completely remove the manifold which isnt neccessary you can just lift it out the way to get the plugs out, saves removing fuel lines etc..

    Which by the sounds of it avoids having to depressurise the lines, which is another root around you don't have to do.

    I usually depressurize by releasing the line and spraying fuel into my open pores and eyes.

    Hay RiCey,
    When you lift the manifold up in 1 piece to get to the plugs, is there any other gasket or something there.
    Wanna save $150 and do it myself.

    Cheers

    Ricey,
    I did it your way. Easy, quick and no unnecessary expense for gaskets.
    Thanks for that.
    The old plugs looked fine but I can certainly notice an improvement with the new ones. Hopefully fuel consumption will also improve. I don't know how old the original ones were.

    Thanks again
