I just did mine a few weeks ago. > 1) Does it matter what brand I purchase? Cost seems to range > between @ $8 - $12. Bosch or Beru are recommended. I've heard not to mix brands, not sure if it really matters, but if you are replacing them all it's moot. > 2) What tools will I need? How long will it take (I am somewhat > experienced)? Wrenches. If you have deep sockets and flex adapters that will help, stubby combination wrenches are also useful. Getting at the plugs can be a little tight unless you have really small hands. > 3) Are there any pitfalls? On one of the plugs, I had trouble loosening the small nut that holds the wire on. Ended up twisting the stem off of the plug. Other than that I had no difficulty; about like changing spark plugs. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
