Replacing sprk plugs, how big of a pain will it be?

The Gladiator was definitely due for new plugs. Not too sure what is going on with the middle driver side plug, lots of fouling! Seat of the pants review: Much better throttle response, so smooth at idle, you cant feel the jeep running, no more shudder at idle. A quick 7 mile loop thru town and my MPG instant readout was showing a 2mpg increase.

The 2 "pins" (studs) that hold the upper manifold on the driver side gave me some fits.

When I did my 2020 Gladiator plugs, those studs caused me problems getting the manifold off and back on. Found out after the fact, those studs can be removed with a E-Torx socket. I will remember that for next time.

Lol, that's what I ended up using. Luckily I had a set from when I needed an E-torx to replace the intake on my daughter's car last month. Harbor freight for the win on that one.
