Spark Plug Replacement
Guys, after reading all the threads about the different spark plugs and all the horror stories on how difficult changing them is, I undertook the job this afternoon. I went with AC Delco R44LTS plugs. When I pulled into the shop to start the dirty deed it was a little after 1pm. I really took my time, carefully determining what all had to be loosened or taken off, first from the drivers side. 40 minutes, tops. OK lets do the passenger side. remove the inner fender panel, and then start to remove the front plug it takes me about 15 minutes on it alone (find out my socket has thick walls and sticks) after swapping to a thinner walled socket I procede quickly through the next two and then to the dreaded back plug. 25 minutes tops, what's the big deal? By the time I have everything buttoned up and I took her for a spin, I was back home before 3:30pm. Gentlemen (ladies too) this is not all that hard of a job to do. Even with my big hands (skinny maybe, but big) I could get to nearly all the plugs relatively easy, yea a couple of small skinned knuckles. Don't fret this job.
