Thank you guys & gals!
Thanks to the help here I got the brakes done with new pads and rotors, the exhaust replaced and the plugs changed! The patient survived the operations, and so did I.
Not eactly user friendly changing the plugs on thyat beast, but I guess the first time is the hardest. LOL.
Now I am fully topped up on my quota of brownie points with my partner in crime, and I can never have too many of those!
Thanks again. Whew!
