At least its warm for you when replacing it....I spent 2.5 hours outside when it was EIGHT degrees trying to replace it on the 300E....engine had not been run in 2 days, so it was FROZEN cold.....your hands/arm cool off very quickly when squeezed against an 8F intake manifold....I'm lucky I still have all my limbs....I couldn't feel most of them when I was done!
