lexstar16v 0 Posted January 2, 2006 On of my new year jobs for my self is to fit a new set of plugs to my valver 1.8 1990 and I couldn't ifnd a thread going through the procedure wondering if anyone had a link to one? Many thanks Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Deep socket, 3/8ths drive, remove the plug leads carefully. Undo the plugs, refit the new ones. The hard part can be getting the socket off the plug after you have done it up. I have a snapon extension that holds the socket on, so that doesn't happen.

bighairymuppet 0 Posted January 4, 2006 be very careful as i spent longer getting the socket out of one of the bores than actually doing the rest of the job. I need a good snapon kit so that the sockets dont come off on their own. (tank tape on the socket and onto extension bar is the cheap option and stopped me loosing it again.). also some places sell once piece spark plug extractors not as good as a proper snapon kit but if you don't have the right socket it works. oh also make sure when putting the new spark plug in that its straight in the thread and dont overtighten. have fun.
