Me too.
On #5, I removed a clip on the throttle linkage, and moved the small hose out of the way.

LOL, cool, glad things worked out!
I did cramp up, and drop that 8mm gear wrench in the engine bay somewhere, bought another one, the first one shook out a few days later, as I found it on the garage floor.

I managed to change out the plugs without removing anything...I have cuts all over my hands...very special...but done. Next time I remove the injector lines. Car started with a battery jump...like a dream. Loving those duraterm GPs.
