Don't over tighten when installing.What do i need to change spark plugs?you need to let your dad do it or an uncle,older brother. sorry dude but if its fuel injected those spark plugs can put out alot of voltage.What do i need to change spark plugs?If you have never changed spark plugs, you should be aware that there are things that can go wrong. If you under-tighten the plugs, they may slowly back out of the head and with only a few threads holding them in, blow out with the high pressure and strip the threads.

If you cross thread a plug, the plug can seize in the head and you won't be able to remove it.

If you over-tighten the plugs, you can also cause damage to the threads which can lead to plug or head failure.

It is not a difficult task to change the plugs, but I would purchase a Haynes or Chiltons manual and get someone who is familiar with the process, to help you.

The minimum you will need is a 3/8%26quot; ratchet, a 4%26quot; and a 6%26quot; extension, a plug socket, and plugs. O'Rielly, Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys are all reliable places to get parts and tools.What do i need to change spark plugs?Aside from the things already mentioned, a little nickel based anti-seize for the threads and dielectric grease for the plug boots will make changing them again in the future much easier. Only put the anti-seize on the threads, and use it sparingly, you dont want it in the cylinder.



last tip, before removing the plugs clean as much dirt and grease and gunk away from the plugs as possible, you dont want anything falling in the cylinder when you take the old plugs out.
