Default Plug change.

Just changed my plugs on my late 05 build date ( 06 model ). All 8 came out didn't break a single one. 60k miles. Let it run to get warm for a minute or two, took all 4 could out. Blew out all the holes with air, and used an old plug socket on a swivel with extension about 6" and 3/8 impact on 3/4 power. Then tightened snug up with just a 3/8 ratchet nice and tight. Worked like a charm. On a better note my edge read 18 mpg with 35's going 62 the whole 30 miles on the trip home from work. Can't complain! Although was nice to have none break was kind of excited to use my lisle tool but I guess it'll sit in my box until I get a 3v job down the road! Hope my steps help someone down the road. It's not too bad if fine right. Even if they break with the proper tools I see people blow right through the jobs like its nothing.

It really isn't. It's quicker if they do break than having to take the time to work back and forth and all that crap maybe 5 mins a plug 10 if it breaks
