I'm glad to hear that. At 15 you can't substitute real life experience from what you've read or "seen"

Seriously, try to remove spark plugs from a 4th gen with stock exhaust manifolds. Now imagine trying to get to the cylinder heads. if you step back and catch your breath you will see that I try to gauge the technical level of people looking for help. There's nothing worse than encouraging someone and then find that they've sheared off a bolt or worse, because they were in over their heads.

If the OP has limited funds then he will need to attempt it himself.

So, before you think that someone is "attacking you" maybe just maybe it's not that we think we're smarter, maybe we've just done things a few times (or more) and don't want to see others learn the hard way

cheers

edit: and to continue the theme. I would assume that most posters on this forum don't have free and unlimited access to a service lift, pneumatic tools and even every shape and size of swivel, handle etc. so we perform repairs with what we have and buy extra tools on an as needed basis. That alone cripples you but many of us make do with what we have because we don't "need" all the specialty tools that make life easier for the pro's. So read some of the comments from others and those are from people who have done the job.
