Sorry guys, I back tracked 25 pages and can't find the 'how to' a member made for changing plugs on a 2000. He had step by step instructions with pics.....any idea who it was?

took me about a hour...and it was the first time I did any plugs.

OUch my back still hurts when I remember that I could save some money do it by myself!!!!!! Never ever again!!!!!!!1

 

i can change them in 20 minutes. have done it 4 times. the rear ones do put the hurt on the back. last time i did them, i laid on the bay, and used the wall to support my feet. it was easier on the back...

 

lol laid on the bay... I must be too fat (or maybe I don't have the nerve) to do that

I've pulled that stuff out at least 3 times now... first time to do the plugs and coils, second to do a compression test, third time to change the plugs again (used copper, they generally aren't supposed to last beyond 30K miles or so, although you could probably get them to if you file & regap them) and do another compression test

It gives your lower back a workout but as long as you're not in bad shape, it's probably worth it.

 

people need to read their owners manual before they ask questions..this one is in there

 

Thanks....anti-seize, not sure what that is...but I see it must talk about it in my manual...I'll read it today.

 

Where does the anti-seize come in?

 

don't forget the plug wires.


hahahahahaha

put it between the electrodes of ur plugs









J/k


Youre supposed to smear a tiny amount on the threads of the plug, so that it will be easier the next time u change them. Notice the first time u take them out, its a bit stuff cuz they are stuck on due to corrosion.
