Well..you only need to hit the body once with a wrench when undoing the pos first and you learn. I did that when I was a kid. It's sticks with you. LOL

In partial defense of Spike, you don't really need to disconnect the battery when you do a tune-up. There isn't any current running through the plug wires or coil pack when the ignition is off. I would bet that if you checked dealer mechanics they seldom if ever disconnect the battery even when they are supposed to.
