    1. Make sure the engine is cool before starting any work.
    2. Locate the spark plugs. In the 2013 Honda Accord Sport, the spark plugs are located on the top of the engine, underneath the ignition coil.

    5. Using the appropriate spark plug socket size from the chart, attach it to a ratchet or extension.
    6. Insert the spark plug socket into the spark plug well and carefully loosen the spark plug by turning it counterclockwise.
    7. Once the spark plug is loose, remove it by hand and inspect it for any signs of damage or wear.
    8. Install the new spark plug by hand, making sure not to cross-thread it. Once it is hand-tight, use the spark plug socket and ratchet to tighten it further. Be careful not to overtighten.
    9. Reconnect the electrical connector to the ignition coil.
    10. Repeat the above steps for each spark plug.
    11. Once all the spark plugs are replaced, reattach any components that were removed to access the ignition coil.
