How did all of you guys take out your spark plugs? I have been searching all over for a spark plug wrench and did not have any luck finding a store with 1. Is there another tool that can be used for this?...Thanx

 

a spark plug socket and long extension

 

Go to an auto parts store and get a Spark plug socket and a good long rachet extension (8-10"). Autozone, NAPA, Pepboys. Some hardware stores may have it too.

you can check www.maximadriver.com in their How2 section about TuneUps.

and take those . out of the [.img] in your sig

 

Nissan is getting cheap. The 84 300zx I owned came with a spark plug tool. It's a long stainless steel tube with socket. It worked perfectly with the zx and the Maxima as well.

 

Nice. Best Max sparkplug replacement instructions I've seen yet.



Think I'll do mine in a few weeks.

 

thanks

 

I changed mine 3 weeks ago.
A pain...used 5 extensions

and it took 3 hours. The front 3 is OK to work with, but the real killers are the 3 back ones.

One of the washers got stuck and the whole thing turned into a very hard mess.

I used Autolite double platinum solution...4.99 each minus 1.00 off special.

Good luck and get that extension from auto store and refund it.

 

Your car looks sweet.

 

3 hours mine takes 30 mins and on your next spark plug change.. please go back to NGK's.. the coppers are cheaper than your Autolite... the maxima engine loves NGK and might not be very forgiving down the road
