So without looking like a right bonehead...how do I remove the rear sparkplug on an xb9 (without taking a n anglegrinder to either the frame or dropping the engine out) :ffs:

It's on you tube, you loosen it with a socket an extension bar and knuckle joint then you get a piece of hose and push it over the top of the plug and twist it and the plug comes out.
It works very well and doesn't take long

I think one of the main things is to make sure you have the correct tool for the job , correct size plug socket in the correct drive size etc makes the job a lot easier than say trying with a 1/2" drive rigid extension bar.

Irritatingly simple ... but he did, of course, forget to re-connect the rear plug. :roll: Maybe he secretly yearns for a Blast ....
