Default changed spark plugs yesterday (pics)






the driver side is the easy side. nothing really has to be removed. just PULL AND PULL the wires as hard as you can. then remove the plugs, replace, then put the wires back on.

passenger side sucks. you MUST remove the coil packs. and that bolt in the back is so far back that when i actually got a wrench on there i couldnt stop laughing. so i took some pics.

then remove some egr crap. the pull the wires and plugs, replace, then put everything back together.

i did buy that husky indexable socket tool thing. but its too bulky and i didnt use it. tools i used: spark plug socket. universal swivel thing. and a smallish socket wrench.

i didnt cut up my arms n hands too bad either. tommarow ima change the fuel filter

Good thing.

I find it's best to change the fuel filter first though. That way if you do get any cuts doing the plug change, you won't be pouring gasoline into the wound.
