10. Lift out the spark plug coil.

11. Use a spark plug socket and long extension to loosen

and remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.

NOTE : 

Spark plugs are good indicators of the engine’s

operating condition. Examining the condition of the

spark and physical signs produced by various engine

conditions (normal and abnormal) should be left to a

qualified service technician.

12. Before reinstalling the spark plug measure each gap (a)

with a wire gauge or feeler gauge. If either gap is out of

specification, adjust it.

13. Lightly coat the threads with a suitable anti-seize

compound; this will allow for easier plug removal in the

future.

14. Install the spark plug into the cylinder head and tighten

to the specified torque.

15. Reinstall removed components.
