There ar emany cars with difficult plugs to change.

But there are also trick to use that make it easier.

Tilting V6 engines after removing the dog bone or even lifting a RWD car in the front and just going over the top of the tire and under the fender well flap are some of the trick that help.

Too bad there is not a web site with the easy way to attack some of the plugs out there.

me and my buddy-he's certified mechanic, and i'm a guru:smile: put it on a lift, we had to tag team it in between cussin breaks. you got magic trick for this one? my trick is to sell it for scrap.

how about plugs on a sunbeam tiger??

Not really the smart way but.....remove the intake (clean it while it's off),
change out the plugs, install new plug wires, install new gaskets, torque the bolts to spec.

You have to do that on at least one Lexus I know of.

how about plugs in a 390 Cu In in a 67-68 Mustang? lol

not too bad...but headers..that's a different story.


when I threw my first set of plugs in my Mark VIII, I expected a huge job.
It was actually easier than slappung plugs in my race track, which is a race truck!

I remember changing plugs in my 01 Jeep Wrangler (straight 6). Couldn't have be easier. If I knew how easy it was, I would have replaced the coils packs, too (no wires). I hope I never have to go back to an inverse-mounted V6 again.

With all due respect, I would never let a set of plugs go 100K even if they were perfect. Unless GM has started putting them in with antisieze, they will tend to weld themselves to the aluminum heads by then.

Customers never understand on the trucks why we strongly recommend and why we charge to change the plug wires. They are literally welded to the plugs and you destroy them when you try to get them off. By looking at the vehicle they look easy, but they aren't.

You have to look at the plugs from this perspective. If they are 100,000 mile plugs then at 80,000 miles you have used 80% of their life up and so on.

Try changing those ford triton plugs!!!If they havnt blown out by 100k they will definitly be welded in and break..Costs avg of about $350 for plug chg at a gargae.
