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.

Great pointers! The 6" extension and breaker bar are definitely helpful, and Harbor Freight is a solid choice for affordable tools, especially for one-off jobs. Thanks for sharing your experience!

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

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 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.
