can you get at them by removing the wheels and accessing them through the fenders? from the look of the pics of the powertrain, that might be feasible. I can get to my rotary ones that way, and they shouldn't be so deep that they can't clear the body.

Has anyone seen schematics or the schematic section of the FSM yet?

Do dealers even have access to the schematic section?

Wow... you got to lift up the engine just to change the spark plugs? Damn... I knew it was going to be difficult due to boxer config... but man. Welcome to the world of Boxer huh?

Agreed! However, maybe that would be a great market to get into? "86 sparks" as a business name? Ha!

I kept wondering in the procedure on the spark plugs when they would actually get to the "replace plugs" part. I hope they last a while!

Maybe it would be easier to remove the front tires, suspension, and fenders, then cut an access holes/panels in the inner fenders if needed, remove half of the exterior engine ancillaries and then change the spark plugs.

Anyone have any idea when the rest of the manuals may be available on techinfo or elsewhere? I'm looking for info on how to remove the rear bumper cover. It just looks like a bunch of plastic clips but I want to make sure to save myself some frustration.

There are available to look at as a webpage on techinfo under Service Diagnostics > 2013 > BRZ

They just aren't available as a .pdf to download yet.
