Are you saying NASA didn't use an extension and swivel to work on their rockets?

Damn man I was expecting to see some crazy custom headers or something but it looks like you have plenty of room. Just break the plugs loose and then turn them out with your fingers. Should come out pretty easy after half a turn with the wrench.

I'm glad we all have to share the OBX header hump headache.

My drivers side are a pain to change, I removed the wheel well cove and had a direct shot at the plugs. Too a regular 3/8 plug socket and ground it down a little and gave me more room to extract it after the plug was loose.

Default Found some nice 3/8 tubing

I found some 3/8 " tubing which will work nice to get them started, some one also recommended using a open end wrench which sounds good too to breakm an snugem

Surprised your having that much trouble with the pacesetters on there.
