How to Remove Spark Plug Wires
Hi, this is John on behalf of Expertvillage.com. In this video clip, we will be discussing how to pull the spark plug wires. Now as you follow your grouping of wires to each of the different locations, there is a separate spark plug underneath each one. I am going to go ahead and do this one first and to remove this spark plug wire, you pull and wiggle it around a little bit until it pops off. And underneath that you should have the exposed spark plug. The next thing that you need to do is blow some compressed air into the spark plug cavity and the purpose of this is so that when you remove the spark plug no debris gets inside the combustion chamber.
