That is accurate Bob.  Two words: Knowledge Vault/shop manual. The front comes out relatively easily, the rear is rather more difficult, but the KV has a variety of solutions. Take your time. Be real careful not to cross thread the rear plug when reinstalling, turning it with the extension in your fingers very gently when putting it in. You might want to take the opportunity to upgrade the plugs to Denso Iridiums IXU24. Andy at Appleton, one of our sponsors, should have them. | ||

G-jon...will 3/8 hose work well for the rear plug, as far as getting it started? I'll be changing plugs for the first time next weekend. Almost 10,000 miles. | ||

Mike - I haven't tried the hose trick myself, but other bad webbers have reported good results with it. I use a spark plug socket with a rubber insert that holds the plug, a wobble joint and a long extension. I hold the extension in my fingers till the plug threads easily, instead of attaching the extension to the ratchet right off the bat. Once you have done this little operation, especially if you are a novice, you might not look forward to doing it again real soon. That's why I recommend the Iridium Plugs: they are the longest lasting and least prone to fouling. |
