Spark plug change - how?
Do I have to remove the radiator to change the front plug?

Re: Spark Plug Change ??
on my 99reg you just loosen the bolts and remove the horn, then prop the rad forward with a chunk of wood. bit awkward to do but not hard

Re: Spark Plug Change ??
I have a K3 S and no you don't need to - undo the bottom bolts and swing up and the rad then use the spark plug tool in the tool kit (plus a pair of pliers on the top to start) and it'll come out

What others said....remove lower bolts, tilt radiator forward...
and.... Quote:
This is a must for removing the spark plug without taking the radiator off. |

Re: Spark Plug Change ??
Take the horn off, it gives you loads more room.

Re: Spark Plug Change ??
I find although you can tilt the rad, I prefer to drop the coolant. That way you get new plugs and new coolant and not so much risk of damaging the rad!
