What plugs are you going to use? How many miles do you have on the old.

just take your time and hand tighten them before finishing them with a wrench. besure to use some anti seize.

I was able to do it without a swivel...I did have bloody forearms though

The rear rotor ones are easy, the front rotor ones are a PITA because the motor mount is in the way. A ratcheting wrench would be easier than a swivel IMO

Wobble extensions are a lot better than a swivel.
