Not very far as the exhaust and mounts will stop it. On some of them it's easier to do the read bank from underneath the car.

Thanks so much. The mounts are bad. I think I should have the rear plugs put in by
mechanic.

Do you think I can still move engine forward with bad mounts? Thanks for all the help.

Moving the engine isn't the problem it's all the rest of the pieces. By the way it could very well be a bad harness connection is causing your car to stall, especially if the bad mounts are allowing the engine to move farther than the wiring actually allows.

You are most likely right. Could be a bad harness, but anyway, the plugs are seized.
Is it okay to use PB Blaster overnight? Thanks again.

Sure, spray it in there and let it set. If you can get them to move even a tiny bit it would help the penetration as the taper seal usually does a pretty good job.

Hello, I'm back again. I changed the spark plug wires. Can I put in new ignition coils without changing the sparks plugs right away? I need to have the plugs done by a pro. Just can't get them out. Thanks so much for your help.
