Remove the spark plug wires, (Make sure that the wire didn't break off on the plug) Insert 5/8" plug socket on extension, unscrew plugs, insert new plugs in to plug tubes, Hand tighten with extension, tighten 1/4 turn past hand tight with ratchet, reinstall plug wires.

 

are you familiar with the 5SFE??? the plugs are wayyyyyyy down below the valve cover. basically i got my 5/8 AND the extension for my socket set stuck down in the hole where you SHOULD be able to remove them (not stuck, more like, it fell in there, and i cant get it out. ). it's just being a pain. help pleaseee.

 

Also please post a pic of the wires to show if they are intact or melted to the plug.

Thanks

what he said ^^

dont need to remove the valve cover, that wont give you any better access but it will give you a bigger mess :lol: oh, and make sure you have a decent-sized extension for the 5/8" spark plug socket [make sure its a spark plug socket, not a regular deep socket] - i think i needed like a 4 or 6" extension w/ my ratchet

i tried a 3" extension and it wasnt long enough ... once i got the 5/8" socket seated on them, i only had to turn it a bit to get them out - they arent torqued down much, if you read the tq specs on the back of the box of new plugs it should tell you how to torque or hand-tighten them

 

thanks.... it just seems like the plugs are about 4 maybe 5 inches down in there...i got it loosened all the way, but i cant physically grab it and pull it out. maybe i'm just a little out of it today... :disappoin

 

The AutoZone website has a good section on changing the plugs complete with photo's.

Do NOT use a standard 5/8" socket. You NEED to get a SPARK PLUG SOCKET. It has a rubber washer/oring inside that holds the spark plug in there while you are lifting the socket out.

 

yea, like i said above .... i hope ur not using a regular socket -_-
