Removing Spark Plug cover

SS-III · 07-25-2009, 03:55 PM

Hey guy,
I want to replace my spark plugs.
I went to remove the cover. So I took all the allen keys out.
But it seems to be stuck in place by part of the throttle system.
Does this also have to be removed to get the cover off. And is there any special precautions I should take while doing so.

Regards,
Chris

Yeah you do need to take the throttle cable bracket off to make it easier also that pcv valve line comes out as you pull the cover! no real precautions besides trying not to scratch up the nice red cover!
