are there an easier ways to change out the spark plugs. my first time changing the plugs today and there was a lot of wires in the way.

 

no sorry, it is what it is...removing the strut bar helps a little....its really not that hard though

 

Ok, that being said. Now lock this thread.

 

you have to remove the strut bar and the wires that are stuck on it. If you have a harness remover tool, that works really well. Besides that, should be straight forward, just takes awhile since there is small work airea.

 

lol. Is there an easier way to swap out the spark plugs besides removing the old ones and putting in the new ones?

 

Hi
I have a 2003, and i have changed plugs twice. You do not have to take off the strut bar. There are a couple of fittings on the passenger bank that need to be loosened (or removed if you want), but the driver's bank everything is accessible after you take off the black plastic cover. I went for one range colder because I am in AZ, and things run hot most of the year.

 

yeah but if you don't want to scratch up things in teh engine, the better way is to take off the strut bar because little mistakes will make you scratch the main cover, underneath the strut bar, etc. I dont know about other people but i'm really meticulous with my car and scratches won't do. I'm not one of those people who thinks if you can't see it, it doesn't matter.

 

+1 no half a$$-ing here
