I ain't scared of no 7-footer either. I'm 5'5" with shoes on, have short,
stubby arms and practically have to crawl in the engine compartment to chg
everything. I take off the airhat and plug wires, use a medium Philips and
the cap comes right off. I have the 360. As for the 7-footer, I just break
his kneecaps (that's as far as I can reach from the ground), then he's my
size! hehe

Hey! Somebody said this was easy to do on late model (97+ V8) Kota's.
Listen'
bud, whoever you is, unless you are 7' tall and your knuckles drag on the
ground you and me is gonna' have some words!
Don't get me wrong, I hain't skeered of no 7' monster with knuckles draggin'
on
the ground, what I'm saying is for this change to be easy, ya's gots to be a
saskwach (sp?) to do this easily. I stand an easy 6' and I don't have no
stubby arms but it was a royal b*tch getin' the cap off as it's tucked away
behind the air manifold and under the hood cowling. Also, whoever said you
need a long ass Philips screw driver is almost completely wrong! Philips,
yes,
but on the 318 you need a short as* driver so you can fit it under the cowl
and
still bear down on the screw heads. I tried a socket attachment and
Phillips
bit but the damn thing fell off and is fartin' around somewhere along the
valve
covers as we speak (never could find the damn bit!).
