Spark Plug Removal

Jon02Accord · Nov 23, 2005

i am getting close to the time when i need to replace my plugs. do i need to do anything special to get the plug covers off? they look different than the style i see on most cars. do they just pull off like regular wires?

thanks

Are you changing the wires too? If you are make sure that you remember the sequence that they go in or else you car is not going to run right.

Just pull the wires off but do it one by one.

Make sure to properly gap your plugs. I know the NGKs and Bosch are pre-gapped but I would check to be safe. Also, don't over torque your plugs.

keeping the ride stock, no wire change. thanks for the advice!

The wires should just pop out. When you put em back in, make sure they click into place.

Make sure nothing falls into the plug holes when you remove em. That could cause some trouble.

like klee said, don't crank on the wrench when you go to tighten in the new spark plugs. it's an aluminum head so you can mess up the thread pretty easy. i think you're only suppose to use like 8lbs of tq to tighten them or something, which isn't hardly any pressure

^^I think the torque specs are 'snug'-not sure if that's exact, though. I might be a few lbs off.
