The socket landed on the plug like it knew where to go. I was amazed. I had that first plug changed in 3 minutes. I used a 2 foot length of wire to pull the spark wire off and that was the most difficult part. The second DS plug gave me fits due to the tight space and size of the plug pull. Once I got that out of the way it was easy going. The third DS plug was a P.I.T.A.. I had to use channel locks to grip it and pull it out. The 4th on the DS was a little difficult due to the compressor but nothing major. The passenger side was a breeze.

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread
I changed my 5speed tranny fluid, cleaned old brake fluid out of the clutch reservoir wiped it clean and put in fresh fluid. Also did the same thing to the brake reservoir. ..
