Spark plugs 1-5: easy, takes like 10 mins to get to. Spark plug 6: very hard, over 45 mins of obsessive cursing and self-hatred.

A little late to the game but changing mine at 172k and didn't want to remove the plenum! I removed one of my plugs and it didn't look too bad, but will change. Possibly going to go with NGK HX Ruthenium plugs since I'm not paying for labor, ha! Thanks for the reassurance that it's possible albeit a little challenging. Appreciate the ratcheting 10mm wrench and 1/4" extension tip for that last bugger plug! I think I might do that one first just to get it over with!

Hauled a dual axle travel trailer to Florida and back to New England twice, traveled all over New England and out to Minnesota by way of Canada and back home and no problems what so ever till this year 2024 and only 97,352 miles.

@@MurphManPB That's because NGK has a special coating around their metal threads already, to prevent corrosion. Thanks for sharing I didn't know that. Got this from NGK website. "NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize. Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat"

You mentioned going to a 1/4” set… but in any case, how long were your extensions for both 3/8 and 1/4? Looks like I gotta add those to my tool inventory as I don’t have much to my tool inventory. Maybe list what tools you used? Great info and video.

So, you don’t have to change the coil packs also? And did you just use an adapter for 1/4 drive to 3/8 and use the same 3/8 drive spark plug socket? Awesome video by the way. I just got done putting in a new alternator in a 2008 pathfinder. I figure I might as well change the plugs while I’m at it. Pathfinder has 143000 on it.

No didn’t change the coils out and I had a 3/8 drive socket and ratchet and I had a 1/4 Dr ratchet and adapters I just use whatever fits the situation best. The last one I did I’d recommend a ratchet wrench for the 10mm bolt makes it easier

Good vid bro. I can tell you work on helicopters cuz you like to do things the hard way. lol. JK. Only thing I might add, is I have some deep wells made for plugs that have a lil rubber grommet specifically made inside that captures the spark plugs so you don't have to toss them down into that deep hole where they impact on the neg electrode tab bending and closing the gap for you. Now you have 5 plugs with the correct gapping out the box and 1 plug with a questionable gap because the impact probably bent it a tad. But hey, as long as she runs.
