40mins -1 hour is about right.
Small Extension OR Doubled up Spark Plug Socket (one on top of other, if they have Hex heads).
Remove Battery on N/S and Airbox Intake pipe on O/S

Oh! and don't forget to remove the rubber bung from the spark plug socket

air box and battery off. make sure you have a 3/8 socket you will struggle with 1/2 inch. you also need a 3" extension piece and a knuckle is useful for the back 2 plugs. A magnetic socket is also handy for pulling the plug out of the port but you can just clip the h-t lead back on to do this if you don't have a mag socket.You need to allow about 2 hours for the job unless you are s**t hot on engines and don't do it with engine hot as it's a bit of a squeeze.
