Remove the spark plugs and wires one at a time to avoid confusion and miswiring during installation.
-
Before removing the spark plugs, number the plug wires so that the correct wire goes on the plug when replaced. This can be done with pieces of adhesive tape.
-
Next, clean the area around the plugs by blowing with compressed air. You can also loosen the plugs a few turns and crank the engine to blow the dirt away.
-
Disconnect the plugs wires by twisting and pulling on the rubber cap, not on the wire.
-
Remove each plug with a rubber insert spark plug socket. make sure that the socket is all the way down on the plug to prevent it from slipping and cracking the porcelain insulator.
-
Gap the New Spark Plugs ( 3.0=.039-.043 , 3.3 & 3.8=.048-.053 ) & Install into Spark Plug Hole. Tighten to apprx. 20 ft.lbs.
-
Replace Spark Plug wire.

The Spark Plugs closest to the Firewall will be a little tedious, but stick with it, you can get them out. You may have to use different Extensions or put your Arm thru from the back side to get to them.
