sparkplug change

[djomlas]

i didn't have a record when they were replaced, so i did them.
car was approaching 60K so i included it in that.
in the same weekend kinda thing i did the serp. belt, plugs, oil, and a little while back the coolant. then after that 2 months later or so, pads, clutch and brake fluid (thx Sammy).
now i just have to get some rotors, i think its time for that

Sorry, I may be a bit groggy this morning from yesterday's feast... but I'm not clear on what you mean about using rubber hose or vacuum line. I know its something to do with removing the spark plug, but what?

Thanks,

The rubber hose is used to remove the plug from the recesses of the tube after unsrewing it from the head.

Sometimes needed if the spark plug ratchet doesnt have a rubber plug in it to hold on the the spark plug.

Also a good idea to use when starting to thread in the new plug, to ensure it starts correctly and isnt cross threaded.

Good post.

Did you use any anti-seize compound on the threads of the new plugs?

Or, is that not recommended?

Also, what are the best plugs to use, NGK or stock Beru plugs? I tend to use NGKs in most of my cars.
