Just finished changing out all SIXTEEN spark plugs and yeah....it took FOUR hours from start to cleanup, so plan your day accordingly.
For the record, I have just over 80,000 miles on this one and several of those plugs were holding REALLY well.....of the 16 I pulled out, not one had a trace of anti-seize on it...they do now.
Hopefully, this is the LAST time I will be doing this....it's not a difficult job - check out the many HOW-TO's on YouTube - but I am not as nimble and flexible as I used to be. Next time, I'll pay the garage to do it for me.
FWIW...I have a 16" drive-extension and it came in really handy on most of the lower plugs.
The toughest one? It's a toss up between the upper plug....Driver's side...closest to the firewall, and the bottom one....Driver's side....behind the coil spring....the rest were average. I removed tires and both fender liners to do the lower plugs and that made things easier.
Do yourself a favour and place some kneeling pads or stiff packing-foam along the front of the engine bay....that will save your knees from the multitude of fasteners, supports and sharp edges that want to maim you.

 

Thanks for sharing the experience.

 

Thanks for sharing. Just one critique, for others planning doing this themselves check with the spark plug manufacture before adding anti-seize. I know NGK i particular says not to as you can over tighten the plugs if you torque them to spec.

 

Check the price on them doing it for you and you might do it again next time.. LOL
