Changing Spark Plugs

[Williboy]

Hi all,

I was wondering how easy it is taking the original supercharger airbox off in order to gain access to change the spark plugs? Any instructions anyone?

its easy mate,

remove the 3 bolts holding the intake on, remove intake.

top RH ( when looking at engine) corner of the airbox, there is a bracket remove long bolt from this.

next bit depends if the nut is tight, u have a rubber isolating mount at the front LH corner, this u might be able to undo with you fingers, otherwise u have to remove the top of the airbox ( little screws around the edges) and undo the nut that is inside.

remove airbox this gives you full access. all bolts/nuts are 10mm you will need a socket and an extension BTW

I've tried taking mine off to change the plugs but one of the bolts has been rounded off. Its the one on the left that goes into the air box. But i've read on this post that if i take the top of the airbox off i can get to the bolt? Is this correct? Does anybody know where i can get a new 10mm bolt from?

Thanks

After taking the airbox off, do you then have to undo the nuts holding the plasitc caps on top of eack spark plug. The nuts are too tight to undo!

Yes you have to undo the 10mm nuts holding the plastic tops (coil pack) to get at the plugs :D
