Default Re: Just how hard are the newer camaro/firebirds to work on?

My #5 spark plug was a real bear to get to.....'97 Firebird. Hedman headers. Had to make a special wrench and it was easier from below than on top. A couple bellhousing bolts are a struggle..........Installing the engine is not too bad but you need an extra long engine hoist and the engine lift plate known as the happy hooker works good I'm told. I did not have one and made something else.

Another really difficult area to work on is up under the dash with a full roll cage........for wiring and controls. Plan on seeing a chiropractor after doing any work there......LOL


I did all the work on mine at home on the floor. A lift would have been a big help..........
