any ideas anyone? I bought a new set before looking at the job. The links on the wiki are both broken (anyone know where the pages have moved to?)

some say remove the injector pipes out of the way, others ( with small hands) dont remove them..... its a fiddly job, but not as bad as it seems....



if there are links not working in the wiki, pm hacksawbob, or harryman, they look after the wiki bit....

`Tis possible with everything in situ. Get a selection of the correct size spanners, ring, offset ring, open end, ratchet-headed ring spanner is very useful, you`ll need one or two different types as you get at each plug.
Keep it real.
