Thank you so much. I’ve never done that before and it took me less than a minute like you said.

Thanks for the video! Dealer quoted me ~$460. (Iridium spark plug - $40 each * 4 - plus $300 for labor + taxes extra) After watching the video, I am replacing it myself :)

Are these 3/8 inch 9/16 sockets being used?

pretty good video. I would also recommend blowing off the area around the sockets before removing so nothing goes into the cylinder. Also, add a bit of anti-seize to the spark plug threads. IT seems like no one checks the spark plug gap any more. Being old school, I think its still a good idea.

Thank you! I hate how ridiculous it is to be charged a small fortune just to do such a simple task.

So $25 in parts, drill bits and saw blades plus 2 hrs of labor plus the chance you'll do it wrong or cut off your finger vs. buying a new 10 x10 canopy at Walmart for $65? (and keep the old one for spare parts)

I have seen videos and comments that you must use a torque wrench to put spark plugs back on otherwise you can damage the engine. Please comment

This is a great video. Few pointers since I had to do 3 cars. (1) 6" or more socket extension is a must (2) Have handy a breaker bar. For 1 car needed it since 1 spark plug had seized. (3) A socket wrench of course. For these items and the spark plug socket I found the best price at Harbor Freight. At least 50% cheaper overall I found than AZ or Loews or HD. Its not that this is required to be done for a living thus for such 1 off cases their quality is good enough.

Dealership quoted me $160 😂😂😂

longtime outdoor crafter here our canopy broke at the middle joint i cut a small piece and put a bolt on either side of the brake to hold the new center pivot in place . most damage occur in high winds we have found that 5 gallon buckets of water work great as weights, some no slip mat glued on the bottom help - doggy augurs work the best IF you can use them- ALWAYS weight or stake down!! we once saw a canopy Sucked up AFTER a storm went by 200 ft in the air flipped upside down and dropped on a car NOT a good day for anyone there. also if you are at a show many times you can pick up a damaged canopy in the dumpsters after the show for parts, im kind of a hoarder in that way:) good luck all have fun

Thanks for the $65 savings! 1 minute of work… exactly as you described 👏

what is the calibration in the spark plug calibration? what is the torque for the spark plug? is copper grease needed? also I did not see you using dielectric grease,

Thank you for the tutorial and link.

Where is the link

nice job!!!

I tried it myself and it went perfectly. I had trouble taking the air filter cover off but after that it went perfect, thanks

Thanks, You just saved me around $500 from going to the dealership, but, why do they charge so much? For something this simple to do?? Just did it in 15 minutes today 😂

Wow. Well, now, don't I feel stupid. Thanks so much! Glad I came in and looked this up before I broke something.

You forgot to mention the gap! If plugs have been dropped or roughly handed, they can be out of spec. Wrong gap can weaken the internal explosion. Food for thought.

I'm thinking I'll seal openings with plastic sheeting as I tape/mask off the inside edge. That way I can refinish doors outside. Audio is very low up all the way.

Thanks

Easy and simple demonstration

thanks for video. Just saved me $500, which is what the dealership was charging me for the easy job.

Outstanding Video.. That's also a great business opportunity in reinforcing people's canopy tents! :)

Roughly how much did it cost you?

Thanks so much!

You saved me $200

Do you know what’s the number of the cylinders? Going from left to right? One resource said it’s 3-2-1-4 But I fixed but and it’s still giving me problem! Btw great video! I never done it before but I did it

Thanks so much for this!!! I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't get enough angle to get the blade on!

Once i pulled that back cover off, the blade still wouldn’t lift all the way for me on my 2022. I accidentally broke a bit of the back part of the blade trying to figure out why it wouldn’t lift. Although i have an ugly piece now showing, i can now slide in a new blade with ease. 😒

Just did this job in 30 minutes, thanks for the great video!

Do you need to disconnect the battery to do this? Also how often the coils need to be replaced? I have 80000 miles on my mazda.

They wanted to charge me $128 to do this thank you bro

Hi! What do you consider a high quality photo and how do I make sure I do that?

hmmm...I had to unlock a plastic lever on top before I was able to slide mine out. And my new blade apparatus was different than my old one. lol

Looks like this eill be an easy job. I may also have to reolace the valve cover gasket too. I noticed a little bit of oil maybe seeping out from thr back. Hopefully thats not a tough job.

Baaaarrr! Your voice makes my skin crawl.

Amazing! Super clear and straightforward. One question: how tight should the spark plugs be put back in? Is there any specified torque spec for them or is it good to just tighten it 'enough'?

Doing this on my wife's car later today with your video as a guide! This is so much infinitely easier than on my 2015 Subaru Outback. Might take 15 minutes compared to several hours. Thanks for the video!

Do you have a video on how to do the cutout face the process?

Thank you!

How bad does the epoxy smell? Is there a strong smell to it?

Thank you!

I'm likely going to be buying a 2015 Mazda CX-5 later today. Replacing a crappy old Mercury Mariner. I bought plugs to replace on the Mariner last fall, then learned that you have to disassemble like the entire top of the engine bay guts, lots of parts and wires and tubes and covers, etc. Super complicated just to gain access to the 3 spark plugs facing the firewall. It was insane. I never even bothered. I'll gift the plugs to whoever I sell it to. Ford engineers were lunatics on that one.

You never gapped them

I was wondering can you buy replacement parts for your pop up ?

You forgot to cap it ! Other then that! Great idea!

what about the mazda cx 30? i took the cap off and it still wont go up

Nice video

So which brand of deep socket 9/16" is good for replace park plug.do u have any suggestions sir.Thank
