V6 changing plugs

Remove the dog bone and rock the engine forward. It's still a b***h but doable.

Last one I did, I removed the top "dogbone" motor mount first. Then I hooked a rope to the hook on the top front of the engine. I tied it to a pole, and gently backed the car up until the motor was held in a forward position. Then I had pretty easy access to the back plugs.

Thanks,

What happened with the exhaust system?

Ah, the nattering nabobs of negativism... :-)

If you'll re-read my post, you'll see the word "gently." I didn't damage a single thing by doing it that way, because I didn't move the engine that far. What I did was no different than what the repair manual suggested, which was to use a block and tackle, or come-along, etc. I just didn't have either of those things, and made a reasonable substitution.

I'll agree though, that there are a lot of people who could do serious damage to several components by being careless and overdoing things.
