Have a question about the spark plug tube. The left rear cylinder head is coated with some oil blow by. I was told by the Dealer during my PPI that the spark plug tube needs to be changed? Is this hard to do or is it as easy a pulling the old one off and sliding the new one in. Also should I replace all of them or just the one that is leaking? Lastly do I need special assembly lube?
Thanks

Once the spark plug is out of the hole, you need a pair of pliers or a sharp angled pick (a big one). They are a real bugger to get out some times, and you pretty much end up destroying the old ones trying to get them out (at least that has been my experience). Each tube has 2 o ring seals on it, one on each end (different part numbers btw). When you go to put it all back together, coat the o rings with silicone lubricant, and they should pop right in.
