What is the best way to change spark plugs?
Here's another question from a beginner !
Is it easier from top or underneath the car?
What do I have to remove to access them?
What kind of cables and spark plugs you recommend?
NGK Platinum?
Please give me part numbers if you can !
Thanks

I have no issue with the Magnacor 10's...and yes way easier from underneath the car...a lift would be cake... Still hard to get too though.

Glad this thread popped up now since I plan on changing mine for the first time this weekend.
So here's my dumb question...how the hell do you jack the car up??? I have an R1, so I don't think ramps will fit under the air dam, and my heavy-duty jack won't slide under the car! Maybe I just need to find another jack.....

Ex fd *****
use the jack under the side rail @ the center w/ a block of wood on the jack to prevent damage to the rail - (I use a block w/ a groove cut in it that fits tight to the rail, Floor, and rocker panel) then put Jack stands under the stock jacking points.
alt is to drive the front up on a couple 2x8's then a floor jack will fit under the front. use the jack under the front part of the subframe

Makes sense. So you can jack one side up high enough to get under there and to the plugs? I actually don't have any ramps yet, but figure if I'm going to be doing this every 3k miles I might as well invest in some. I'll try they board idea if I get them.
And nope, I haven't changed the plugs yet. I just bought the car a few months ago and just recently read that they have to be changed so frequently. I have no idea when they were last changed so I'm sure they're needing it.....
Thanks for the tips!

I use two pieces of 2x12 for each side. One 3' and one 6' and drive on those. Then I jack up the car in the middle under the front support bar. Just make sure to place the jack stands inside the welds on the support bar. No problems.
I replace from bottom with stock plugs and Taylor Spiro-Pro wires.
