I gotta do this damn surgery today too on my BMW X5 - at least it's in the first cylinder well...reading over how people have it in the 6th or last or by firewall - OMG would that SUCK SO BAD!!!!
I’m exactly where he was, accept mine is back by the damn firewall so no visual but mt damn phone every so often to check my progress. I don’t even know why I’m commenting, DAMN IT
I tried the hooking method and just tore the rubber to pieces. My life savers were alligator forceps which technically are for ears but perfect for this.
Wow I just went through one of these and it was against the firewall. FYI I used a straw and with a napkin wrapped around it to get some air in there make the area more viewable. Remember once this plug comes out you don't want anything going into the cylinder.
