How do you change the spark plugs on a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS?

Answer 1

I am by no means an expert in the subject but I'll tell you what little I do know. There should be a number of large cables that are "attached" to the larger part of the engine. There should be a number of cables dependant on how many cylinders your engine has (e.g.: a v6 should have 6). Once these cables are removed you'll see the end of the spark plug. You need a socket wrench and a deep socket (One of the longer ones not the little short ones) of the correct size (which I'm not totally sure of) and you need to simply turn them counter-clockwise to loosen then remove. If you are able you should "hand-start" the new ones with your fingers to ensure they are seated properly in the hole and that the threads aren't misplaced because you shouldn't screw them in at an angle. At this point replace the socket over the new plug and turn clockwise to tighten them down. Replace the cables and you're done.
