Hard to get to spark plugs: It can be a huge PITA to get to the #3 plug.
The spark plugs are located in tight quarters. Try using any cheap spark plug socket with a 3/4" hex on the end of it. Break it loose with the 3/4" wrench and spin it out by hand. - Lastcoupe
Lift the front end and remove the driver’s side tire. You will have easier access to the plugs when going through the wheel well. -00blackblazer

Putting it back on is reverse. and a no-brainer... The shaft is keyed ...
Doing this, I get all 6 plugs done in 15 minutes.

got this link with how to's for replacing the door hinge bushing. I think most people get stuck on the spring and are too afraid to try and they ask. This seems like a hot issue when I was looking for a how to on the forum earlier. think you can look at my link and add it to your list AB?

That link has been discussed before and it's a good walk through on the steps. I really do not like the way they pressed the bushings back into the hinges. Too much potential for damaging the bushings. I use two sockets and a bolt to press them back in. MUCH less chance of damaging things.

Hmm, can't remember how they suggested to press the bushings in off the top of my head but I was thinking of using a bolt, two washers, a nut and a little elbow grease. The main thing I saw that was helpful for me (though I haven't gotten around to that fix yet) was how to remove and replace the spring.
