    change back spark plugs, motor mount, thermostat and coolant

    Does anyone know how to access the back spark plugs on a 2011 Buick Lucerne 3.9L V6? I think the motor needs to be pulled ahead, but don't know what needs to be removed to do that. Also how do you remove the thermostat and coolant? Thanks.
