Do you have to remove the coolant reservoir? It looks hard to get a ratchet in there? I don't have my quad here to look at right now. It's at the dealer getting the recalls done. Do you have the part # for the iridium spark plugs?

I found it easy to remove spark plugs and put the socket on it. Next remove the rachet. After that, loosen everything and there you go.
