Does the balance bar have to come off to change the spark plugs ???

Yep :)

you can do 4 if your lazy LOL

Its a zed of course it does hahahaha

 

remember to tighten it back on correctly or you will crack the plenum.

Yeah it does! And some people don't! As i found out when i had my last service done and my mech found that the back 2 had not been changed as often as the front 4! :rant:

Do you have to replace any gaskets when you remove the balance bar?

Sorry for hijack James.. :o

O rings............

Its a zed of course it does hahahaha

What do you mean ? Are there torque settings for the bolts??

 

 

 

Also are they just normal rubber o rings?

Yes torque settings. Dont just tighten them or youl risk cracking the thread part, easily done i recon.

you can just refit the O rings but they are often brittle and could do with replacing !

 

just dont overtighten the bolts and nuts !

If your O rings are good, you can just run a little red (semi hardening gasket in a tube)round the edges to make sure you have a good seal.

Cool, going to sand blast and paint the windsreen wipers / window trims so might blast and polish the balance bar whilst i'm there :D
