Bat mobile black- 2000 Trans am WS6 M6
What was the easiest, and hardest job youve done on your TA?
Lets hear everybodys easiest and hardest job theyve done to their car.
My easiest was probably installing the alternator.
My hardest would probably be the spark plugs and wires. The wires seem to be more of a PITA than the spark plugs themselves.

For me, the hardest job and still is would be changing these damn plugs.
What a sick bastard engineer it was to lay a design out like this for F bodies.
The easiest would probably be swapping out my shifter for a short throw one.
That was a whole 10 minutes.Be who you are and say what you feel 'cause people who mind don't matter, and people who matter don't mind.'

Easiest? Maybe the TB swap for a ported one.
Hardest? Probably a shock swap when I snapped one, the dang mount wouldn't line up and it took forever to compress the springs by hand.
Most nerve racking? The oil pump swap...omg...

Easiest - battery swap, oil change, then lid.
After 2X swapping out the axle seal on the 9" became relatively easy - about 20 minutes.

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
Easiest was the headers. Motor was out for that.
Hardest was installing the SPEC 4+. Not so much the install, but the trouble we had. Transmission came down 5-6 times.

Navy Blue Metallic- 98 T/A, 00 FBVert, 78T/A
Easiest - SLP Lid
Hardest so far - swapping the springs on the front shocks. Damn bolt rusted & seized. Had to use a hammer and chisel to cut off. Every blow of the hammer was absorbed by the shock. Took 45 mins for one damn shock.

Ok everyone, now that you've scared me to even look at the plugs, does anyone have a good tip for removing the right rear plug ? Last weekend I was fooling around under the hood and thought maybe I should change the wires & plugs. Maybe not ?????
I've replaced the suspension underneath by myself on my back but this sounds like a real challenge.

Take the coil packs off and the air tube off the manifold. Then you can get at it but its still a pain.
