quick spark plug question

[JDSCHMOO]

Changing my plugs myself for the first time on my 2010 limited. Assuming it's pretty straight forward, but you know how that goes. Anything to pay attention to or look for while doing so?

I usually make sure the engine is off first, otherwise It's pretty straightforward - however, I'll let owners of your exact vessel chime in first just in case there is a trick to it I'm not aware of.

So, this is the first plug change on your 2010? Sounds like you got your moneys worth!

That's what I've doing wrong all this time!!

It's very straight forward, just make sure you have the right tools. I tried using a deep socket versus a spark plug socket and almost got the thing wedge in the hole.

I've heard a lot of people mentioning to use anti-seizing lubricant as a tip.

It is very easy and yes use anti-seizing. You won't have any problems.

Thanks everybody! As easy as expected. They were changed before, just not by me! Now on to my gel coat repair...

What are these plug things you speak of????

 

[jollyroger]

Make sure the gap on the plugs are correct and as others have said use anti-seize. Look at the old plugs and see how "used"yyhey are. Also, can clean and keep the old plugs as spares just in case or go buy some new ones. Do not need to over tighten, snug is good,

If you need any help screwing that up, just let me know!

I'll hit ya up Glassman! Minor repair, I'd like to do it myself for the experience instead of having one of the shops do it.
