Default Swapping out the plugs tonight!

Tonight after work I'm swapping out my plugs. Had them done once before so hopefully they come out with ease. I will find out soon enough.

it went great! Got all of the plugs out no problems. None broke , thank goodness. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. And I'm glad none broke since I didn't have the extraction tool. Plugs were wore out!

Hey Travis, glad to hear it worked out well. How many mile were they in there and did you replace with engine cold or hot? Thank you.

the plugs were giving me a hell of a time coming out cold so I warmed the engine up to operating temp and then they came out way easier. The plugs had around 85,000 miles. I used a mix of impact gun and by hand.

Good to hear, my originals had 113K and I did the warm engine removal as well, had the tool and all and still non broke. I did run a can of seafoam in the gas tank for 300 miles prior to removal.
