I have searched this... and keep only coming up with " Best spark plug leads???", and doesn't have the info i require..
What i need is pics/diagrams/instruction on the best way to replace the leads on the I6. The only way we can figure it to remove the top of the BBM to get a hand down to the Coil Pack... am I even close with this option or is there a more efficient/easier way to do this.

If you pull the airbox/intake piping out you can easily reach under the BBM to change them.

Buggered if i know why mine is a right pain in the *** with the leads... I cannot gain easy access to the coilpack by simply removing the intake piping and airbox.

trick is to stand directly in front of the car (lots of bending) and just about put your whole right hand thu the maze of crap under there and feed the lead down thru the top with your left hand. its a pain but can be done alot easier than an EA-ED, now they are a pain in the butt.

or if your small like me you remove the airbox and you can sit in the space where airbox is, and change the coil pack in 10 minutes

lol... well unfortunatly when i stuck my hand up under the inlet manifold... it kinda got stuck getting it back out... not a pleasent feeling at all... My father had more luck though, as he has smaller hands. Well atleast with bigger hands i can grip things better with and i've never had a complaint from a girl ;)
