Replacing Cables

Always remove cables by grasping at the boot, rotating the boot 1/2 turn, and pulling straight back in a steady motion.

REMOVAL
1. Prior to removing the spark plug, spray compressed air around the spark plug hole and the area around the spark plug.
2. Remove the spark plug using a quality socket with a foam insert.
3. Inspect the spark plug condition. Refer to Spark Plug Condition.

INSTALLATION
1. To avoid cross threading, start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand.
2. Tighten spark plugs to 28 Nm (20 ft lb) torque.
3. Install spark plug cables over spark plugs.
- A click will be heard and felt when the cable properly attaches to the spark plug.
