Need to change the spark plugs in my car.Have the auto manual and new plugs.It's not that complicated,right?

Question

Or is it??

Answer 1

Be sure and gap the plugs to the right specifications. Keep the socket straight on the plug or it will crack it.

Answer 2

It's not complicated.  Having a special spark plug socket for your socket wrench helps a lot.  The hardest part is that in some engines, it's hard to reach all the plugs.  One other thing:  Do it when the engine is cold.  No point burning yourself on a hot manifold if you don't have to.  

Answer 3

Its VERY easy just do one at a time so you remember were each wire goes. if you put 1 wire out of place the engine might not run or it won't have as much power as it should. Just Remember what wire goes to what plug. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 4

It just depends on what type of car you have.

Answer 5

It can be if you've never seen it done depending on how tight they put them in last time.  Typically there is a tool you use to remove the old ones and put in the new ones.  But like changing a tire, sometimes the person doing them has a strong grip or a looser one.  So it totally depends on your car's last service.  Do some research online to find out whether you NEED this tool or not.  Couldn't hurt!

Answer 6

I just changed the plugs in my truck, it wasn't difficult, but it can be different from car to car...

Answer 7

It ain't complicated,BUT, it's EZ to damage the head's threads if one isn't careful. Start the plugs by hand & turn'em in atleast 2 full turns before useing a rachet.Also, as B G said above, one plug at a time.

Answer 8

As long as you have the proper tools and know how and can get to the plugs it's not a hard job.

Answer 9

You are gonna need a spark plug socket (thin outside to fit in the hole but big enough inside to get around the plug (if you have that kind of vehicle). If you have that then its easy. take the old out and the new in. Just remember what wires connect to what plug
