Angry How do I get to the plugs!!!

Hey all... stupid and embarassing question! How do you get the splug caps off, as they hit the "wiper deck". I don't want to start ripping things apart, as surely there is an easier way!!

Re: How do I get to the plugs!!!

Here is a picture. The red arrow points to the "deck" that the top of the spark plug tubes hit, before the bottom of the plug tube clears the motor. I am not 100% positive that deck disassembles, and rather not tear it apart to find out!

Re: How do I get to the plugs!!!

There are three black pins along the front of the cowl that you can pop out, and then just pull the black cowl piece off.

Think this should help:

You are the man!... I thought as much, but didn't want to get into it without making sure. Now I am off to find a source for those removable plugs... because if I don't lose one... I will break one. Thanks a ton.

I broke one when I did my header so now I roll with two. Not a big deal.
