Best way to change Spark Plugs
I am going home for my spring break soon and my car is comming out of storage. I have a few mods planned and one of them is changing the plugs. I was wondering what is the best way of doing it (besides the obvious). What I mean is what re the best angles for the plugs. Do I have to take anything off to get at the ones all the way in tha back? any special tools needed besides the normal ones for removing plugs? Thx guys

what i usually do is change the first three on each side from under the hood, then the last one on each side from under the vehicle. it should take about 30min to complete.good luck no special tools needed

although the first 3 plugs can be chaged from under the hood,
i found it easier to do them all from under the car, just lift it up, and do it... took me about an hour the first time

Thx guys that helps out a lot. I have heard that you need one of those swivel torque wrenches, but if you can just get them from underneath than no-prob
