Ray,
        I was considering trying that -- my problem is that both bolts are
rusted on to the shield... I was going to attempt to do the job without
that. I was able to get #5 to budge a little bit today, but it took as
much torque as I could possibly muster to move it even a millimeter...

        On a side note, I said screw it and left the bosch plug in #5 and
reprogrammed the PCM -- as I expected, I am idling rough and when I put
it into reverse for the test drive, it started to backfire slightly.

        Could having the old plug in there cause the backfiring, or are one of
my plug wires not seated correctly?

Pete
