Spark plugs replacement

Hi Carla and thanks for using 2CarPros.

You are doing it right. Twist the rubber boot about a half turn to break it loose and then pull. They can be a pain and very hard to remove. However, that is how it is done.

Here are the specific directions for your vehicle. If you are replacing the wires, make sure you get the right ones. See the notes in the directions.

Carla:
Welcome back. I am glad you got the plugs taken care of. The wires can be a pain. As far as the next question, I have to ask you to start a new post. I will watch for it and help you when I see it. The owners want to keep each thread specific to one problem. I hope you understand.

Take care and way to go!
