#3 spark plug removal with steering shaft in way
use spark plug socket with hex head end and a 3/4 off set box wrench. or the new type ratching combo wrench. dont try through the wheel well, stering shaft will tick you off. over the fender will do. offset box wrench will give clearance to your fingers. dont forget the anti seize on the spark plug threads.

another trick you can do is to acctually lock your steering wheel in place with a rope or bungey cord and wrap it around the headrest (or w/e way works best for you) and then you can acctually disconnect the steering shaft from the gear box and move it out of the way. if you pull it up out of the way it makes it a WHOLE lot easier to go through the wheel well. (our shop charges almost 2hrs of labor for it equaling 200 something bucks. and it only takes me half an hour for all the plugs if they dont fight with me)

I dont think it stands out enough, maybe it needs to be near the top? or maybe a different color?
