Man the struggle is real! I really do appreciate the way you showed how to get these spark plugs out of these tight locations using those tools. Anyone who's ever actually laid eyes on some of these V8 engines will know how tight those spaces are but I think you did a very good job and you played it really smart. Thank you for this video and keep it up!

I tried it and everything went smoothly until one of the 10mm bolts that attach the coils broke off. I was livid. After that experience I spray kroil and WD40 on the bolt several times to prevent it from getting stuck.

I had to watch this video about 30 times, and go out and try it… on day 2 I was able to understand the angles of using the tools. Whew! I’ve never done anything like this before…but I am super proud of myself for taking it on! 🙌🏽 It took me about 4 hours to complete this project. I’m totally oK with that because it’s a learning experience for me. That coil on the front was OMG so challenging, but I actually got it out through the front of the motor. Whew! After that one, it’s just a matter of following directions, etc. thank you for your wonderful video. It helped me tremendously. Most of my boots were stuck on my old plugs, and I pulled too hard on the first one and ripped it. Good thing I already had a new one. But, what I found, for the others, was that using a plastic body panel removal tool to help pry up the boots, was perfect.

@@dodgersnation8574 I bought a obd2 scanner from Walmart and pulled the code from the scanner. There's a huge number of scanners out there but the most basic one worked for me. They range I believe 20 dollars and up. Mine was I think 40 to 45 dollars. By the way I moved my supposedly bad coil to an easily accessible cylinder and switched out the coils. Then reran tests to see if it actually was the coil or if it was an electrical connection. My coil worked well for a while then through a code. That's when I knew to replace my coil. I replaced my bad coil with a Denso that was made in Japan and not it's hinshin subsidiary in China. It was the cheapest coil and I'm pretty sure it will work just as well as the coils costing 2 to 3 times the money. I dealt with Napa Auto Supply my best source of OEM parts. All my factory original coils are hinshin.

After watching the asinineness watching you struggle to take the coil wire off while destroying the coil.and using your special pliers to do the job. When anyone. With a couple sockets a pair of pliers a screw driver and a brain can get that poped off in almost no time. Yes after watching your fuck show unnecessary struggles I thumbs down this video. Because you are literally making this job harder and more difficult than it needs to be putting unnecessary stress on parts because your doing a how to on shit that isn't necessary. Also I have taken mine off and on mutiple times in the last 2 weeks. If you can't remove that in 5 to 10 minutes then you shouldn't be under the hood. You screwing around trying to get the coil out was harder than anything I have had to do to remove it.

Of course I find this video AFTER I removed the plenum to change my plugs. Ha. Great video; thanks for posting and I hope my engine lasts long enough for me to use this method next time :). FWIW - NGK very strongly recommends AGAINST using anti-seize on spark plugs. The laser iridiums (and all other NGK plugs these days) have plating on them that is meant to provide precise friction against the metal of the cylinder head; applying anti-seize can cause the actual force on the threads to be some 20% higher than what the torque wrench indicates because of the reduced friction.

@hardlymovingpro 3 жыл бұрын

What you said is all true except for American cars with over 100,000 miles with American spark plugs being changed for the first time. I've had experiences with seized plugs that sheared off and had to use a reverse thread bolt extraction tool to get it out. The owner had called the dealer on their recommended remedy and they wanted the cylinder head removed! Owner gave me the green light to use a extraction tool. Also on some Ford F150 V8 engines, the plugs also seize and break apart on removal attempts. So the question is, will NGK pay for parts and labor when your plugs seize and break apart?

Great video. Taking off and refitting the intake plenum + plugs takes about an hour. Only downside is, you have to replace rubber seals. Upside of taking it off, you can clean all the accumulated oil and gunk out from it and clean your Throttle body as well. I would recommend removing it every 3rd or so service to clean. So, might as well do this when replacing the plugs as Iridium plugs lasts about 45k to 60k km. Its reall easy to remove it. Your video awesome as it is, I would suggest will be great for only replacing or fault finding a coilpack.

I saw a video where some said don't use anti-seize because it will interfere with grounding spark plug

Honest to god, it is far easier, especially on cylinders 1, 3, 5, if you simply remove the intake plenum first. The time you spent riding the struggle bus getting the old plugs out and new ones in is more than the time it takes me to remove the intake manifold and put it back. I have dealt with stripped plugs in the past, and never want to be in that situation again. Going at it sideways and with wobblies puts you at risk for stripping plugs.

Excellent and helpful video, thanks. I do not believe you should be using anti seize on that type of plug though. Almost all plug manufacturers recommend against it.

How hard would it be to take off the plenum. Might be a time saver in the long run

@K.O.I_WORK 3 жыл бұрын

Ngk spark plugs have a special coating that acts as anti seize and if you use additional anti seize then you’ll over torque them, whether using the 1/2-3/4 turn past snug they say on the box or a torque wrench. Definitely don’t want to mess up someone’s head doing a simple job like this!

@hardlymovingpro 3 жыл бұрын

Yes ... I'd say NGK and Denso are hands down high quality plugs. Can't say the same about the other American brands (e.g., Motorcraft, AC Delco) that broke apart trying to get them loose. And yes, pre-soaked with penetrating oil. Several times had to use a bolt extraction tool to get the remnants of the plug out of the plug hole.

I've been dreading doing this job when the time comes along. I have seen the other videos on removing the plenium and wish to avoid that at all costs. I will be reviewing this video a few times. thanks for posting it. I am wondering if Nissan dealerships do your technique or just do the plenium removal and happily charge $500 for a spark plug change?

@hardlymovingpro 4 жыл бұрын

Worked at a dealership. Always trying to find ways to make the job easier and go faster. Doubt dealer techs take off the plenum.

@g.fortin3228 3 жыл бұрын

I like it ...only 1 thing should really blow the debris/dirt from around the holes so you dont brush/knock any in. I know it takes an air hose but most techs or serious DIY's have one handy or at least a can of air..
