Spark Plug removal instructions

SPOHN · 01-31-2013, 05:50 PM

No one has that I recall. But very easy IMO.

BASIC
1. Remove strut bar
2. Remove air intake
3. Unplug and remove throttle bodies. They do have a coolant line attached to them but won't leak much.
4. Unplug coilpacks, unbolted, and pull out.
5. Remove spark plugs with spark plug socket, extension, and ratchet.
6. Then reverse for order to put back.

I'm about to do a write up with pics cause so many people have been asking lately.

Shouldn't the battery be disconnected first?

He did preface with "basic instructions".

Also, I didn't use a special spark plug socket. I used a regular deep socket and some 6mm vacuum line. Worked like a charm.

Yes. You should remove that with any thing you do.

Keyword ''BASIC''

I found this amusing in comparison to changing the plugs in my 'vette.

1. Pull spark plug wire.
2. Remove plug.
3. Installation is just the reverse.

Technology comes with a cost in additional labour for some very simple tasks.
