marc780, thanks for the input. I've seen the sidewinder around before and thought about picking one up just to have around. This may be the justification for it.
I ued it for the last two plugs in back, there was BARELY enough room - perhaps they make one in 1/4" socket size now it would be much better for this chore. I used all kinds of socket extensions of various lengths AND some swivel adaptors too.
TRD may have a point by saying to remove the plenum - dont know whether it is "easy" or not - but the biggest concern in my mind is everytime you remove it -unless you are completely certain you resealed the plenum PERFECTLY - you are risking a vacuum leak when you put it back on. I preferred to yell, curse, and turn into a contortionist for a couple hours rather than open that can of worms.
