Changed Spark Plugs
Hey everyone! I decided to change my spark plugs after 90,000 miles. I've never tried it before so I had a friend to talk me through it. It took about 15 minutes because of a small error on my part. I accidentally smapped one of my spark plugs while trying to remove it . Thankfully, I had some gorilla tape in hand to remove it. Here's a few pictures of my plugs.

Did you start threading the plugs in w/ a rubber hose(if it cross threads plug slips in hose) or did you start threading them in w/the spark plug socket. Juist curious.

I used.a spark plug socket. If you're going to do it yourself, make sure to stabilize the.extension (applying pressure towards the block) as you're unscrewing. Otherwise, you'll end up doing what I did.
