Tune up ????

Post by HPbyStan »

I planned to change cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Turns out there isn't enough American money still in America to make me change plugs and wires in a '00 Astro. I don't remember it being this bad of a job on a Gen 1 but I don't remember a lot these days. I did photo the cap & rotor change and the tools I used. The air turned too blue for any plug and wire pics.

A lot of Astro-mino pics after the ign ones.

Impossible is just a degree of difficulty....

Its easier with a lift, I have 2", and my wires were a bitch to remove. I too was replacing them, so with the correct tool not working, I eventually was able to get them out, in separate pieces. I cant imagine doing it without the lift, though they should be easier next time....luckily that is a long way off.
