Need some advice,

I am changing the exhaust and plugs tomorrow on my car. I have read the theads on removing the rear bumper and intercoolers for easier access which i plan to do. My question is do the rear tires need to come off to remove the rear bumper and change plugs? I was planning to drive the back of the car up on my ramps.

Thanks!

 

You probably can but taking the rear wheels off took less than 3 minutes. With the rear wheels off, it's easier to get at the 2 plastic 10mm nuts and the 4 torx screws to remove the inside wheel well liners attached to the rear bumper and intercooler brackets. You will also get at the plugs easier without going under the car. I jacked the car high enough so I can sit on the floor and get the plugs and coilpacks from the each side.

There are several DIY with pixs in this site and at Renntech.com...
