What a crock! I think someone is yanking on you. This must be some Mustang owner or something.

Just take them off and swap them over one at a time. You don't really have to do anything else. Just be careful they all go back where they came from, and be especially sure that they're back in their little looms so they don't accidentally end up against the exhaust and get fried.

You can smell 'em thousands of miles away.

Does his car even run?? How many hours a day does he work on it if that's how he does things? You should consider changing advice sources.
