I did it... with the help from everyone on here, I changed my spark plugs on my own! took me ~30 mins and i didn't even have to move the coolant resevoir!!!
saved myself $100. Yes, that's right at precision tune auto care here, they charge $100 to change spark plugs. so i took $100 out of my bank and put it into the franken lift fund!!!

Its such a great feeling to do stuff like that on your own. I have been my own service department for decades and I still enjoy it (most of the time :lol: ).

Congrats on a job well done.

How many miles on them and what condition were they in? I'm due for changing mine again because I used the OEM NGK'S but thinking of using the Iridium type plugs this time.

Save your money on the Iridiums. I put a set in and have no difference in power or MPG. I am hoping they will go longer than 30k now so I can justify the cost. Next time going back to standard plugs.
