Removal & Installation

NOTE: Spark plug wires must be connected to the correct ignition coil terminal. Mark spark plug wire locations before removing them.

Use the Spark Plug Wire Remover with a twisting motion to pull the spark plug wire off the spark plug. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the ignition coil by twisting while pulling upward. Open the spark plug wire separators and remove the spark plug wire. Be sure to orient the spark plug boots so the spark plug wires do not contact the exhaust manifold. Apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) to the inside of the spark plug and ignition coil boots of the spark plug wire. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
