How to change spark plugs on a bug eye

You don't have to completely remove washer bottle. Simply undo two screws/bolts securing bottle to body and unplug electrical only.
This allows you to move washer bottle up onto suspension strut, whilst still connected to washer system, therefore negating the need to drain it..!
You'll also need a 50-75mm socket extension and plug socket (obviously).
Take your time and check plug gaps before fitting, lol even if they're new and claim to be pre-gaped..!

Halfords do a spark plug 3/8" ratchet set that's the best I've used. The drive is slimline and has an angled arm to get into the tight space.
Put it on your Crimbo list

Drivers side is easy, but passenger side plugs are very fiddly. Washer bottle position doesn't help- as already mentioned.
