Re: Spark Plugs

i found the first three on the driver's side from the radiator back can be done from the top. (the third one back is a REAL PITA, for me anyways). the other ones are best done from under the car. i changed my oil today and got 3 of the plugs done but gave up after that. (it gets real cold here in laramie when the sun goes down). try your best to not force the plugs in, i know i already did that cuz i messed up one of my plugs threadings. its really hard to see so just keep trying it until it can turn quite a few times easily, if not back it out and try again.

Just do the ones you can get to easially from the top (1, 2, 3, 4 I think I did from the top). The other ones just get under the car, a universal and a 4in extension made life easier. I did it with a big 1/2in drive ratchet without any problems so it cannot be too bad.

Re: Spark Plugs

the plugs will break sometimes if they're old enough, it happens all the time.
