you dont have to totally remove it, you can slide it over, iv had to do it a few times when changing them on my 172 bud, also make sure you dont over tighten the 5 bolts that bolts the top inlet to the botom inlet,sa iv just replaced mine due to previous people doing them up too tight and...

iv just fitted magnector leads to my 172,with a set of genuine plugs i chose magnecor for two reasons 1 is that i had a missfire and i wasnt sure if it was the leads but they were looking worse for wear and 2 because renault wanted £98 for a set of leads! needless to say the...
