Rotary - Is minor service at home possible?
 
All right guys - let me know. Can you do minor service tasks such as oil and spark plug changes without major training on the rotary? :confused:

I did oil change twice, transmission/lsd fluid changed, install swaybar (f/r), and wheel rotation by myself. I used all hand tools (nor air tools, or power tools).

Ditto, along with two sets of brake pads and two sets of spark plugs (and only a front sway bar). Neither took enough time to matter (brakes - 30 minutes, spark plugs 15).

I actually think its one of the easier cars I have ever worked on.

What ^^ said. I've done spark plugs myself. They were easy once you figured out how to access them. I don't have anywhere to drain the oil (not allowed to in base housing) but I would if I could.
