Rear spark plug replacement - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L

The rear spark plugs are blocked by the intake plenum. Step-by-step process on shifting the plenum out of the way to get to replace the spark plugs. This was done on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L engine.

Without music or irritating background music and people attempting to be movie stars I applaud you sir.

You guys are special. Thank you. I was a car mechanic from 1956-1962. Only worked on family cars since then. I bought that 2004 Hyundai.Santa Fe 3.5L New. At 82 years old I would never have attempted to change the plugs, without your video. Just finished today. What a challenge working on today"s vehicles. Guys like you really do make this world a better place.😁❤

This is the very best, easiest to follow, and comprehensive mechanic video I have ever seen, GREAT pace with text and freeze images. Well done, very well done. MAKE MORE VIDEOS!

My 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe is in the shop right now, for a wire that a friendly Pack Rat ate, the car is now there for timing belt problems, the mechanic asked me if I wanted to have the plugs replaced while the plenum is off, I told him NO, tomorrow I will tell him YES. Great video, thank you.

This was very informative, as a mechanic I have access to a lot of databases but this is by far the best step by step I have seen

Best DYI videos on the internet!!! I am subscribed. Thank you.

The detail shown in this video is one of the best I have ever seen. The "Tip's & Warnings" were dead on. The Spring wire harness clip & EGR Gasket tips were big time savers. Thank you!!!

This video was amazingly detailed. Thanks so much! I got this done today, laptop next to the car, and I just watched and paused all the way through until done.

This video is the best repair video I have ever seen. I could not have done this repair without it, you have saved us a ton of money. Thank you so much.

[gwsmith]

Thank you for this video. The best part is that you gave us time to read the things you wrote and didn't just flash it on screen for less than a second. Two thumbs up sir.

Grease Monkey Fever, thank you. This is one of the best demonstration video ever that gives me confident to change my own plugs, of course with a friend help. She has all the tools, and works on her own car, and I believe with her assistant we can do it. Even without hearing your voice, if we watch this a couple of times, it's a done deal. God Bless you.

Thanks for posting this vid! You saved me a bucket of money!

@Grease Monkey Fever Just bought an 05. Cyl 1, 3, & 5 are miss firing. I believe someone changed the plugs for cyl. 2, 4, &6, but neglected changeing te before mentioned due to the woork involved. You're video is going to prove to be very handy. Thus I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make and share this...

[markgarland]

You nailed this video . I have a 3.5l 2005 Santa Fe and replaced plugs with the assistance of this video. Thanks for what you do!!!

[irvinwilloughby]

good job explaining the basic principles I can do it now, this is the best demonstration so far and ive viewed a few but none of them is so complete .

[JohnVieiraact]

Great video, might try it myself w this clear cut instructions . Thank you :)

I am replacing my valve cover gaskets and this is best video to get me to that point thank you. Anyone thinking of doing this yourself you better have some special tools to get the back 7 plenum bolts out. It is very tight and hard to get leverage to break them loose. I don't know if that tool he is using will fit and work for all, it is expensive so I didn't buy one. If you have one you will need it. It's all by feel you can't see them. PITA! There will be brittle plastic on connectors so be very gentle with them. Very gentle. Also you may want to invest in the hose pliers he is using. PITA without them. Be prepared to buy new hoses for ones that are brittle and break. Took me 4 hours to get the plenum off. I am not a novice. Been working on cars for decades and have a lot of great tools. This is a bitch of a project without the right special tools.

[willscheeler]

Thank you thank you thank I had a mechanic do the job and missed the small gasket in the back i followed your video to the T and found out about it replaced it and started right your the best

Good video. I used it to change my spark plugs for around $136.00. The shop wanted over $500.00. Tanks for posting.
