I'm not saying anything, but are subs plugs hard to change? Yes. I've done it several times on a Forester. They have a boxer engine and openings to the plugs are right next to the sidewall of the car. Several different sized extensions are essential and you have to get at them from underneath. One more good reason to avoid lezbarus!

BTDT from the bottom and yes, multiple extensions and a swivel and electrical tape or duct tape to keep em on never hurts. More a PITA than anything, as long as I can get my hand in there.
Taking other parts off....thats more work.
Replacing coil packs on Moms car IIRC we had to remove a few parts.
Buddy had hell replacing a headlight bulb in his GMC truck, while I replaced complete lights in Moms Lincoln and it was easy peasy.
You just never know.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I have it on good authority that this issue is resolved. Also, rest assured that talus is not a girly man nor an idiot. There are valid reasons people post questions sometimes and reading more into it than is on the screen and yumping to conclusions is wasted effort. Savvy?

If addressed to me, I'll assure you there was no negative intended. I see so may subs up there, I was fishing, as I could swallow my pride and buy one! I think they might be a 300 or 500 K mile vehicle IIRC.

I, too, could really care less what label a vehicle has on it as long as it does what it's supposed to for a good long time. My brother, who has been keeping 'flying bricks' with that propelly thing on top flying reliably for many years, and is also otherwise mechanically inclined, has a rather favorable view of certain Subs, Toys, and especially a line of Swedish origin cars. As you say, lots of Subs up here. It's true, many have 'wrong-thinking' bumper stickers on them, but others don't. Either way, graffiti-tape isn't hard to remove.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
