I started to do this myself however, unless I am wrong you
have to remove all the turbo pipes to get to the plugs.

I afraid I might damage them so I will probably let the dealer
do it. Am I missing some easier way?

No as you figured out you must remove all of the plumbing from the top of
the engine then remove the cover held down with Torx Screws size T-30 then
you will see the coil packs held in to the head by 10mm bolts just mark the
coils so they go back in their correct spots this is not a very hard job but
only if you feel comfortable doing all of the above

Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long
as I live,
nor should any American.

Thanks. I guess I will let the dealer do it. I probably could but
I might break one of the plastic pipes and if I did it would
probably cost me more than to have the dealer do the plugs.

I let the dealer do it ..big bucks 2 hours labor + parts + they
broke off one of the Torx screws that holds the pipe to the exhaust
manifold.

I complained but may just forget that one..as it is still secure.

Forget nothing, Fred - - -

Unless you're treasuring a Dealer who's done you favors in the past,
don't settle for a botched job. It's the beginning of the slippery
slope that takes a car from quality to junk. That same Dealer's
appraiser, looking under the hood on a trade (some day) could at least
think that this is a vehicle that's had chancy maintenance.

Considering how easy it is the extract a frozen/broken bolt, shame on
the Service Dept for even returning the car to you with such a problem.
It makes one wonder about *their* attention to proper detail.

I took it back today. The service manger said we'll fix it, no problem.
They were able to extract it and install the original type screw
(apparently there was no thread damage). I was quite pleased!

I had the same fears about it as you, Bob (re apprasial). I'm glad I can
report success!
