Expy is wife's vehicle, so beyond vacation I really only drive it on the weekends, but it's done a couple things that make me wonder if it needs plugs/boots. Approx 45-50k like some other threads mention.
Anyway, for those of you that have done plugs / boots yourselves:
1) How bad was it to get to them? Specifically the ones nearest firewall? I took a quick glance and it didn't look horrible, but I don't want to underestimate the difficulty. I've done them on several vehicles, but I've bitten off a bit much on a couple rough jobs since and am a bit gunshy. And I've got more kids and less time than I used to.
2) This would be first fancy vehicle without wires for me. When you guys are talking boots, you just replaced the $8/pc boots and not the $50/pc coil pack too, right? It seems reasonable that the boots basically replaced the wires that you'd inevitably break/damage when removing them anyway.
Appreciate any info or advice anyone has.
