So easy!! Thank you!!

AND AN FYI FOR VIEWERS:
I’m dumb and didn’t realize mild heat takes away magnetism so if your magnetic spark plug socket suddenly stops connecting to your spark plugs, let it cool down 😂 I worked on plugs after having driven so my car was hot. I almost thought I had a bullshit plug but my magnet worked again after having cooled off lol

My ratchet doesn’t pull the plug out with it. How do you get the plugs out?

Is lubricating the spark plug threads advisable? An old BMW (Motorcycle) friend used to do this, and would swear by it.
Also, do any spark plugs need to be gapped anymore?

Thank you so much for this and all your videos!!!

what a beautifully edited video
praise!!!

As always, videos rarely show you what could go wrong.

The primary issue with a spark plug installation is getting the socket off after you've torqued the spark plug. Many times the rubber boot in the socket is too tight, and it won't let go of the plug.

Squirt a bit of WD40 in the rubber boot, but not too much.

The check engine and vsa lights came on after I did this. How can I fix this? 😬

What are the chances I do this wrong and how dangerous would that be?
