Anyone know any tricks to get the brown larger cam plug reinstalled on bank 2? There is only 3" of clearance so cannot get enough behind a hammer/wrench to get it in. The green plugs were easy to install by hand.

Why is the large cam plug so difficult!

The only thing I can lever off of is the engine mount. It flexes too much to get the plug to seat. Quite frustrating.

Just grabbed a 2" thread protector cap off a pipe in Ace Hardware. Might use that if I cannot get the OEM plug in.

I don't think the engine mount will care, put a flat piece of sheet stock (or anything flat and strong) to act as a brace/protector and lever gently. IT shouldn't take that much force. I use a small pry bar for stuff like this, if you are gentle you won't damage anything.
