RE: Replacing spark plugs
thanks, i do appreciate that, i read all about the spark plugs although it doesnt tell me anything about how to replace them. I could always just get them done, but where is the fun in that.

RE: Replacing spark plugs
Not many cars out there easier to change plugs on than the 4.0 mustang. takes about 10-15 minutes. you need a 6" extension, 5/8" spark plug socket, and a 3/8 ratchet. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. To take the wires off give thema slight twist, then you can pull them off

Yeah, they look easy. Do you happen to have a link to a tutorial about changing the spark plugs?

RE: Replacing spark plugs
dont understand why a tutorial is needed. if you dont know how to change plugs in general, dont attempt this, as u might F*** something up. take off boot, thread out plug, apply antiseaze to new plug, thread in new plug, snug it, reinstall boot, repeat 5 more times.

RE: Replacing spark plugs
If you have never done it before have someone show you how to do the first one. It is pretty simple, buy plugs, gap them to specs, then ONE AT A TIME replace them by slipping the boot off and unscrewing the old plug. Insert the new plug and replace the boot. Move on to the other 5 in the same manner..
