Is it possible to change the spark plugs without removing the strut tower brace and/or engine cover?
For that matter, is it possible to remove the engine cover without removing the strut tower brace?

You could remove the cover with out pulling the strut bar but it's not worth the pain to do it that way.

The plugs are really tough to get too, you may even have to remove the lower intake manifold to get to them, that is the only way I have done it (during TT install) so not sure if mandatory, but it might be as you have to access the bolts that hold the coils in place.

I did it without removing the cover or strut brace. I did take three of the bolts out of the cover so I could move it around a little. But I did not take all four bolts out. I did have to remove part of my cold air intake tube also.

All you need to remove when your changing your plugs is your cover, strut tower brace, and the intake. Other then that, move a few hoses off to the side when you go to each coil pack. No need to remove any of the Plenum when doing your plugs, it takes about 15 minutes for me to do all 6 plugs. Really easy.
