question = HOW DO YOU REPLACE SPARK PLUGS?
JK:
You did not leave your e-mail, so i will just answer here.
First remove the plug wires at the spark plugs. Sometimes they stick, and will have to be twisted
before they are pulled off. Using the proper size spark plug socket, remove the plugs. Check
that the spark plug gap is correct on the new plugs, and install them. Put a little dab of silicone
grease in the spark plug wire boot is always a good idea. Also inspect the spark plug wires and
ignition coils for signs of corrosion. Re-assemble plug wires to the proper spark plugs/cylinder.
The rear plugs are difficult to get to, so you will need a universal socket and extension for those.
Be sure not to overtighten plugs or they may crack.
