I have a Continental TSIO-550-E in my Lancair IV-P.  It's time for the condition inspection and I intend to examine, clean, re gap and swap top for bottom spark plugs.  The issue is getting access to the top row of spark plugs.  The intercoolers which are mounted in the Lancair provided baffles will need to be loosened or taken off entirely.  Does anyone have an efficient method of  loosening the intercoolers to get at the spark plugs?  Take off the front connections and swing on the back, take off the back and swing on the front, or do I need to take them off entirely?

Thanks.
