I'm just going to put an extra extension on here to make it a little easier. Just like before, just kind of put it right down through the center. That holds it in although if you have a good spark plug socket you don't have to worry about that. Make sure the paper towel's not going to get down around the threads or anything. As you can see, I just put a little piece of tape with paper towel in there. These plugs are pretty recent so I'm just going to put this back in. This information usually is also in your owner's manual. You can see right there, a spark plug gap of. You can find the gap usually on this decal. Then you use this to either kind of release it or bend it closer if you need to. 050 inch, which if you have a tool like this which is a spark plug gapping tool, you just run it through and it should go through there with a little bit of resistance. You want to make sure you check the spark plug gap which is basically the distance between the diode and this tip. It brings the spark plug right up and out. Once it sticks down on the spark plug, you should get a good grip on it. Like I said, the grommet in my socket's not very good so I'm just going to take a little piece of paper towel, kind of stuff it in there with my pinkie and use that. You can get it loose with the wrench and then pretty much just turn it with your hands. We're going to hit fast forward again here as I remove that spark plug. You also obviously need an extension like I have here, even a little longer one would be good. Obviously, you just kind of put the socket down in, and make good contact with the plug.

You simply just pull right up on the coil.
We'll fast forward a little bit as I remove those two bolts. Then there are two 8mm bolts, here and here, on each one. I'm just going to reconnect that one for now. You basically just push down on a clip here and pull them off. Then, I'll show you here, these coils have a harness into them. Just twist and pull that out of your way. You're just going to push the clip over, pry it up, then these cables will kind of come up out of your way. The only thing that makes it difficult is a few cables and stuff. I'm going to change the most difficult one in this video. This is a 6 cylinder so there's three here and three on the other side. Here are your coils on top of the engine. The tools you'll need are 8mm socket and ratchet with an extension and a 5/8 spark plug socket with ratchet and at least a 6-inch extension. The procedure's basically the same for the 3.5L as well.
