    Step 1: Gather the necessary tools

    • Spark plug socket (according to the chart)
    • Ratchet wrench
    • Extension bar (if needed)
    • Spark plug gap tool
    • Anti-seize compound (optional)
    • Dielectric grease (optional)

    Step 2: Prepare the engine

    1. Make sure the engine is cool before starting.
    2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent any electrical accidents.

    Step 3: Locate the spark plugs

    The spark plugs are located on the engine block. Refer to your vehicle’s manual or online resources for the exact location.

    Step 4: Remove the old spark plugs

    1. Using the appropriate spark plug socket and ratchet wrench, carefully loosen and remove the old spark plugs one at a time.
    2. Inspect the old spark plugs for any signs of damage or wear. If necessary, adjust the gap using a spark plug gap tool.

    Step 5: Install the new spark plugs

    1. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound (optional) to the threads of the new spark plugs to prevent them from seizing in the future.
    2. Insert the new spark plugs into the engine block and hand-tighten them. Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to tighten them further, but be careful not to overtighten.
    3. If desired, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug boots to improve electrical conductivity.

    Step 6: Reassemble and test

    1. Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
    2. Double-check all connections and ensure everything is properly reassembled.
    3. Start the engine and listen for any abnormal sounds or misfires.
