  • Another spark plug question

    For those of you that have changed your own plugs, how in the world did you get the number 2 and 4 plugs switched, I can barely get a hand on #2 and I can hardly even see the #2 plug. This is all from underneath, did you guys go at it from above or both or magically or what????

    used one of those wrenches that swivel (what are they called) and an extension. my dad was on top of the car and i was underneath the thing, we kinda told each other how to get to the thing

      you need an extension... and hopefully u do not have fat arms...

      the trick is to get the extension on the spark plug, and after that is in place attach the wrachet wrench and there you go....

        well # 2 plug is right up front so I just go at it from the top it's the easiest plug of all... #4 however I go at from below with a regular open end wrench same with #6

          I forget the numbers already, but like the drive side center and rear plug were the only ones I did from under the car, cause thats where I started, they were really easy. =/

            its a feel operation. i just used a 3/8" driver, short extension, and plug socket. for the ones that i could not get the torque wrench on, i just used the hand tight + whatever amount of turn (it was on the box) to compress the gasket. its an iron block so very little danger of crossthreading/stripping.

            there was a bit of cursing and swearing since the front suspension doesnt leave much room to get up in there.
