Holy crap, I had no idea it was this easy to do! My car has been misfiring and I only just got paid, so thanks to this, I can go handle it myself! Thank you for the good tutorial!
Thank you for actually explaining things well and showing what you were doing. A lot of other videos had problems with both of those things.

You put to shame all of the guys om youtube who change the front three plugs and don't say anything about the back three. They should take their videos off of youtube. watching them is a waste of time. Thanks for doing the job completely, and showing the easiest way to attack the rear plugs.

I really appreciate you fixing this video for us to go by it's going to save me so much time the reason I know that is I've been working on my daughter's car for about 3 weeks trying to get the alternator out so I can replace the valve cover gasket on the rear and the tricky showed us about moving the motor forwards I should be finished by the end of the day thank you so much

I Think Your video was the very best out of many I watched concerning changing spark plugs and wires on my 2009 Chevy Impala. Plus it was very easy to follow. The camera placement showing exactly how to get to the rear plugs. I also liked that idea to use a come along to pull the engine forward making easier access to work on removing the rear spark plugs. I also liked the tip of spinning wire heads some to remove them off the plug easier .☝🏽😀👍🏽

I agree, the strap was a great idea! ❤
Thx for making this vid. I don't want to dog you too much but I just did my 2006 impala. There's plenty of room on the backside of the engine especially once the coil is removed. No need to tilt the engine. Also, I do not have a 5/8 inch spark plug socket either. Just put two small pieces of black electrical tape inside the socket. It will then be snug enough to remove and insert new plugs without them dropping

The front is easy, I had no idea how to do the back ones though. So thanks, this should help. I'm gonna check mine this weekend because there's misfire constantly and the engine is shaking badly and not wanting to accelerate good. I replaced the throttle body but that didn't work. I hope it's the spark plugs and nothing else.

@@sidbrant Got the plugs changed and the spark plug wires. Plugs apparently were the original ones as they were very hard to get out. Managed to get them out without breaking any. Plugs looked horrible and the car runs so much better. Have not been able to re-scan to see if the misfire went away but pretty confident that it is not.

Sid, that spark plug cap you removed in the back, is that a distributor cap? Should it be changed aswell? Great video with music!
@sidbrant
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It's the coil pack (newer version of a distributor) and this one was still good so I didn't change it out, but if you wanted to it would be a great time to do it!
The reason I'm asking because on Google it says 135 on the front spark plug diagram and then another picture has 246 in the front of the motor so which one is it
Ugh so I started last night and removed the motor mount bolts and the motor moved back toward the firewall about a inch. I got the ratchet strap on same as you and it’s super tight but not pulling the motor forward. Thinking my driveway to steep maybe? Going to move to the street later today and see if that helps. My bolts didn’t slid out at all, needed a punch and hammer with all that weight on them. Hopefully it’s just the slope of the driveway and nothing else. 😮

spray wd40 first and twist coil pack nice and easy , also use a cushioned 5/8 with rubber insert incase the ceramic breaks on the spark plug. if u crack the spark plug and you get ceramic in the engine its a nightmare
Just did this on same car an hour ago. Getting to the back spark plugs is a full blown pain.

OKI am literally confused what this man is doing with his line lock. Because I know people that have done spark plug changes and didn't even use line log but I also know that it's recommended to use it. And I have never seen someone put lion on thread and then spread it around with your thumb. You put the line lock on and then you screw it in the hole that weighed the threads on both sides get golden locked. That's how thread locker is used. You put a line and then you screw it in
