05 SV6 AWD Spark Plugs

[paulinnh2]

I need to change the plugs and wires on my 05 AWD SV6. I've seen YouTube videos of people rotating the engine to get to the plugs. Does anyone know if this is acceptable to do on the AWD version of the Montana?

Thanks
Paul

That sounds a little extreme, do you have a link to this video. Tpyically an investment in the proper tools should work including a universal joint.

I thought I'd be able to get them from the bottom

I see what you mean but this link has a number of people who have done it from underneath

Thanks - I was able to change them without rotating the motor. I found that using one of my wife's hand mirrors helped me see what I was doing.

From underneath? Or over the top?
