Talking Spark Plug Change Was A Snap!!

I've heard alot of horror stories about the spark plug change in our cars! I'm unsure of why now that it was done today! A total of 30 minutes for all 6 plugs! Not a problem at all! Maybe my car is just special

The problem is having the right tools.... a short extension and a 90deg angle extension both help greatly.

You're absolutely right. I would have had my plugs replaced pretty quickly had the booties not stuck on all of the plugs but one. Now I have the tools to solver that problem, if I encounter it again.

Megan, you omitted "having the right people doing it".

Megan obviously does not drink beer while working on her car. No one can change the plugs AND down a few beers in only a half hour. With a box-o-wine it will take at least 2 hours, maybe 3 depending if it's white or red wine.

That depends - is the beer on a drip line?
