Hi all,
Anything special required in order to rock the engine forward to access the rear spark plugs? Also, do I have to remove anything from the rear spark plug area to access them? it looks a little crowded back there.

Does the engine more or less freely rock forward once the "dog bones" are detached?

the ratchet strap was a great idea! It was still a bit of contorting to get my hand in the right position along with a ratched w/ an extension on it back there, but it was loads easier than doing it any other way I could see. So I ratcheted it forward a bit and changed the back 3 spark plugs and wires as well.
