Default DIY changing spark plugs SC400... I know, I know!

Not a newbie, and I know there are (more than) a few threads regarding this, but I haven't found the one I'm looking for. It was the best one I've seen and am in need of it again. See if any of you guys know this thread:

It was totally complete - all step-by-step with nice resolution photos and instruction every step of the way, it listed the tools you'd need... everything! One of you guys actually gave an outbound link to it, I believe it was on another DIY-type thread on CL.

Trouble is I failed to bookmark it, trashed my printouts (idiot) from last time. I've searched up and down, with lots of variation of search terms on all of CL, all over Google, etc. and can't find it anymore. It was a great resource, and should be part of the main DIY thread!

Anyone know it?

uhm if youre not a noob then you dont need a DIY, especially a complete step by step one. do a search.

doing plugs on a 400 is almost like doing plugs on a civic. with this job you can have your cake...and eat it too

I know man, and I just did this myself in March. I'm remembering as I go, but it was just nice to have the visual reference/order of things.

Do the driver side first. Its the easier side.

Passenger side just needs to have the intake tube come out and its just as easy.
