i did oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, oil, plugs n leads.
its dead easy to do mate, jus need a socket set n a oil filter removal tool. took me about an hour.
make sure u have the right tool to remove the spark plugs n b VERY careful with the spark plugs cos if u crossthread ull be fucked!!

second that with the screw driver. I serviced mine the other day and the oil filter was adamant it was not coming off, after wrestling with it for 20 mins I hammered a screw driver straight through the filter form underneath the car. then used it as a t bar to free the filter. sounds brutal but it works as a last resort. just watch the tread near the base of the filter.

If you're gonna retrim the seats, whilst they're out, may as well replace the locking wheel nuts.
