Found this also, it's not bad but a lot of "selling" is included https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOZwVANRla4 |
One additional tip that may make the job a tiny bit easier... Since a number of the spark plugs are in hard to reach places, you may find yourself in this situation:
Removed old plug,
no problem!
Installed new plug,
no problem!
Try to remove tools and spark plug socket doesn't want to come back out even though your extension/s do.
Problem! Now you have a spark plug socket you have to somehow fish out with pliers or some other method. I've seen a bunch of posts about this and have experienced it myself once or twice. Very frustrating.
My own personal solution was to take some thread, wrap it around the socket a couple of times and then secure it using electrical tape. At the other end of this long thread I put a bit of tape on the end, sort of as a makeshift handle or 'pull', so no matter what that socket will always come out.
