2005 4tec spark plug removal

[jayvkace]

I am attempting to replace my own plugs with NGK's that I purchased at the dealership. I unpluged the wires and removed the plug housing. I used compressed air to clean the chamber. I am using the plug tool that came with my toolkit and for the life of me cannot get those darn things out.

I am not twisting to much just pulling and wiggling with some pretty good force. I thought I would get some advice before I do any damage.

Can anyone give me any info on how to get the plugs out? Is there something I am missing? 2005 RXP 4 tec.

Jason, here is the correct proceedure to replacing your spark plugs.

4-tec plugs NGK brand, DCPR8E Gap/ 0.7-0.8 MM or .028-.031in.

To replace the plugs remove the Oil dipstick, remove the plastic cover over the engine, replace the dip stick. Unplug the wire from the spark plug coil ( it's part of the spark plug cap) wiggle and pull the cap/coil out of the spark hole. Be careful not to break it. Loosen the spark plug, insert the cap/coil in to grab the plug and remove it. Gap the new plug, remove the screw top on the top of the plug, insert it in the cap/coil push it in the plug hole. Use a socket to tighten it. Snug it up go about 1/4 turn, loosen and snug it up(this compress the seal ring on the bottom of the new spark plug). Put some grease on the coil cap where it meets the cylinder and insert on the plug. Connect the coil wire. Do one spark plug at a time. Replace the plastic cover. This should solve your problem.
Keep us posted if you have questions.
