Well i dont know if you have a ST or GT, but i do not believe it matters anyways. First off when you buy them get them pre-gapped so you dont have to do it yourself. Ummm i do not know what the gap is suppose to be off hand???? And step by step:
-Remove your spark plug wires first, be careful cause some shi**y ones come aparts easily. After this take the time to kind of clean up under where the wires were and everything. Sometimes oil and grease build up there. -Use a spark plug socket to remove them. Make sure you have a socket for a spark plug tho, makes it SO much easier. It has a rubber seal on the inside that seals around the spark plug, so when its out you can just pull it up with the socket with no problem. You will also require an extension long enough to reach down to the spark plug -Once you have them all out then go ahead and do the reverse of above. You can just stick the spark plug in the socket cause it gets stuck in, and then put it back down where the others came from. - CAUTION: this step is most important, when you put in the new spark plugs, be sure to do it gently, and be sure the thread catches good. You do not want to strip the threads at all. I usually turn the spark plug back, like left(ty loosy), until i feel it drop into place, then slowly tighten it down, again being sure the threads catch good. You wanna make them tight, but don't go crazy with it. -Then put your spark plug wires back on. Do this gently too, and then push down so you feel it kind of klick/seal around the spark plug. I would advise changing your spark plug wires plu your cap and rotor if your changing your sprak plugs. GOOD LUCK |
