    Take off plastic engine covers.

    Remove coil packs that are over the plugs (some models have two hex bolts holding them in).

    Then remove the old plugs (use a plug socket with an extension).

    Install the new ones. Torque to 22 ft/lbs.

    Put coil pack back in, and your done.


    I just found this link too: http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tec...l=&ticket=none

    I did this the other day for the first time, very straight forward. Make sure you gap your plugs accordingly.

    Oh yea I've been meaning to ask..

    How do you make the gap SMALLER...I bought that little cheapo round gapping tool, and I can see sliding the plug to a bigger gap, but can't figure out how to make it smaller. Is there some special technique, or do you just have to manually bend it down a little, measure, bend again, measure, etc....?

    Some gapping tools have a proper tool/slot for adjusting the gap.
