Great video, glad to see a trainee doing the work .

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup

[@yoitsalan]

This video has helped me twice already, thanks!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice !!!

[@419chris419]

Thank you! Just add that you can pull the socket out with the socket plug, no need for a magnet! (Most people like me don't own the magnet tool to fish it out)

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah cool u can use the coil pac it grabs and bring the plug out

[@innovative5428]

Thanks!

Thank you for your tutorial. I have changed spark plugs on my Honda accord 2014 2.4L exl. I used --- Denso DXE22HQR-D11S Iridium Long-Life Spark Plugs

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice !!! I gotta do my honda before winter hits

[@FVG_alex_garcia]

What is your though on hondas that after driving for a bit if you turn off, it wont start till about 10 min later. I notice mine does this on summer season and not in cold temps

[@RBTheMechanic]

It might be the coolant temp sensor I had those on camrys

[@yezkaholic]

What year is your accord

[@BCBlue]

Thank you. This was very helpful. Take care.

[@RBTheMechanic]

No problem!!

Why didn’t you show us how to torque the spark plugs? I don’t know how to do that…

[@RBTheMechanic]

Watch my new videos it will show more details

[@drgiggles2252]

Why torque them I've never had to on any vehicle I've done a tune up on and they run fine till the next tune up

[@RBTheMechanic]

I never has issue before or after tune up

[@pauliecarp]

Used wife's wire grabber for putting plus back in - allowed me to tighten by hand.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh ok!!

@@RBTheMechanic so I bought a spark plug socket that's 13/16' I got the wrong one didn't I?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@ygbodybuilder3023 I think so

[@johnnymoreno3572]

When the coil is full of oil do you need to replace it or just clean it?

[@RBTheMechanic]

U can clean the coil also clean the bore and see if it’s works propperly but oil leak inside the bore means u need to replace valve cover gasket

[@iaminvincible9]

Please mention the size of rachet with extension. Complete size of socket Thank you

[@RBTheMechanic]

Will do this form now on

[@yezkaholic]

What the torque spec for the plugs?

[@RBTheMechanic]

13 ftlb

[@Kevin-pn7lb]

My bolts on my engine cover are stripped on front left side, the first two bolts that you removed help😂😂

[@RBTheMechanic]

They sell extractor tools u can take it out with that might have to work some magic

[@jonathanbarraza2557]

How often does the coils need replace

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not often at all u less u wanna change it like ur one of those it’s been 4-5 years replace them all I have 2003 accord still with original coils changes plugs 2 times tho

[@accordwhip3467]

Should I disconnect battery while doing so, or does it have no effect? I'm assuming it doesn't, but I am asking to make sure

[@RBTheMechanic]

John Appleseed no u don’t need to disconnect

[@accordwhip3467]

@@RBTheMechanic good to know. thanks

[@williamadams9091]

[@florencioalvarez2221]

What brand are the OEM plugs??

[@RBTheMechanic]

NGK. But on these I buy them from dealer only

[@upstream0564]

Is Denzo OE plugs better than the OEM NGK iridium that came with the vehicle? What’s the difference?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Upstream05 ngk is the best but both are good I would choose ngk Over denso

[@upstream0564]

RB The Mechanic ok thanks. Keep up your work. Would love to see more videos on the Honda Accord.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Upstream05 yup I do videos on everything I get some times I get lazy but I decided which I should record Honda Acura and Toyota’s r on my top list love them Honda’s and acuras

[@Jose-S914]

You didn’t put anti seize lubricant on the new plugs before installing 😂

[@RBTheMechanic]

Jose Olmeda I have customers that ask me to do the job their ways they think they r mechanic old schoolers they buy me parts and if I tell them somthing they say if not u then I’ll go else where. The question is what can I do? 😤

[@Jose-S914]

RB The Mechanic I always would buy the parts, give it to my mechanic and let them do their own thing. I simply tell them to just call me or text me when they want me to pick up my car. I actually need a tune up badly for a 2013 Honda Accord EXL 4 Cylinder

[@RBTheMechanic]

Jose Olmeda yup that’s no problem but I I deal with my community customer for example my uncle and relatives they expect me to change oil filter with their own purchased oil and not pay me they bring me half of the stuff if I try to explain it to them it becomes crazy battle but I do take care of my loyal customers they let me do the job the way I want to even if they bought parys

[@yezkaholic]

@@Jose-S914 is anti seize really necessary if you torque them to the correct spec?

[@Jose-S914]

@@yezkaholic You don’t need to put it on the spark plugs but I just do it so it’s easier to remove them when I have to change them.

[@artcore9886]

How much PSI to torque the spark plugs?

[@RBTheMechanic]

ART CORE every car is different make sure the head is cold and nice should be 13 ft lb but make sure with dealer or car manual usually the parts department will give you the info with vin number
