Hi,

You don't actually need to pull the Tires.

Raise Car securely.

Using a 6mm (?) Hex Bit (or Allen Wrench), remove the 2 screws holding the CoilPak to the Valve Cover. Twist slightly while extracting the CoilPak (if inexperienced, do one CoilPak at a time to avoid mixing them up).

Using a 5/8" Long Spark Plug Socket (or a normal one with extention), remove old Plug.

Install new Plug and torque it to 26 ft. lbs.

Re-insert CoilPak and push it til it clicks

Reattach screws to Coil Pak and torque to 6-7 ft.lbs.

It's also a good idea to run your finger in the hole to insure that there is no Oil on it indicating a leaky Spark Plug Tube 'O' ring - replace as necessary.

Also, stick with OEM Plugs, there is no advantage, but a possible disadvantage, to using Aftermarket Plugs. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
