150 Verado rear cover

Seems like it would be easy but not so! Does anyone have or know where to find a video that shows how to get it off? It feels like I'm going to break something from prying too hard.

Last post. http://www.veradoclub.com/index.php?t...pic=7097.0 Spark plugs have specific torque values so the proper tools are required. You may want to register at Veradoclub. The Verado's are sophisticated motors and knowledge is a good thing. Edited by Phil T on 10/29/15 - 2:24 PM

I didn't watch the work but don't believe it was necessary to remove the chaps below the cowling to change the four plugs. Perhaps you can do it using a U-joint with the plug socket. Have you been able to remove the pencil coils? I strongly second the suggestion to visit VeradoClub.com which has a ton of free information. It's a great site. Butch

There is no access without completely removing the cover. It's not necessary to remove the lower cowling, just the cover. I will go on the Verado site and see if any info there. Thanks for your reply.
