Question about 911 tune up | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hi guys, just looking for some avice to get me out of a jam. I am tuning up my 1988 911 & am unable to reach the last two spark plugs on the right hand side of the engine. It would make sense that something has to be removed to gain access to this area, but I can't even figure out how to take out the airbox! Any suggestions?

You have a 3.2 engine. All that's required is to locate the snaps on the air box and take off the cover, then the remove the air filter and you should have engough room to remove those (2) plugs

Larry, I tried that. Once I remove the snaps, there is no room to take off the cover. To say it is frustrating is an understatement!
