does anyone have procedures for changing plugs on c32? could you share?

I know on the V8 changing the plugs can be a pain in the ***! There really is no special procedure other than sqeezing your hands thru small spaces and removing the water bottle on the drivers side to get access to the 4 rear plugs.

I dont know about the otherengines but the c240 uses 12 plugs so i would suppose the v8 to have 16 plugs at 6.99 aprox. per plug you are up to almost 12 about 120 with tax depending where you live and it is about an hour of labor

actually the estimate said 2 hrs labor so i think $90 x2 but could be wrong......i'm supplying plugs.

i like doing this stuff just wanted to know if there are huge stumbling blocks or difficulties.............don't mean to take work away from you in the grand scheme of things.......
