na plug change

[james_cbr]

ok serviceing my na where is the best place to split the inlet to get to the center plugs

[Guest aspire]

just take the TB off and y pipe

[Scooter]

six 12mm bolts on the y pipe, 4 on top 2 below (also x4 nuts on the exhaust side bracket).....there are a couple of rubber pipes that are fiddly to reach/remove, also the front large clipped up pipe is a coolant pipe and so i'd have something ready to soak up the spillage as you don't really want water down in the spark plug wells. (proper way is to drain a litre or so from the rad tap)

damn i was hopeing you could just remove tb and use a wobble joint

[trebor69]

Make sure NOTHING has been dropped and left in the spark plug wells ......last thing you want is to take plug out and something falls past and ends up inside

[barneybrendan]

you dont have to remove the y section .all i used to do was remove the throttlebody snd pull the y section out the way and leave the pipes conected.

[Havard]

Also you will need an extended 12mm socket for the bolts underneath the TB.

 

Once you have done this once it's a doddle.

Yes watch for that also don't assume somebody else has dropped something down there

I used an air line to blow out before removing the plugs
