The hardest part about replacing spark plugs is not the "replacement", the hardest part is getting to the bloody damn spark plugs! This is great, now I know how to gain access sir. Fantastic video sir.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah lol I been having difficulties with parts

[@N-trepid1]

Thanks for the video! A local shop wanted to charge me $650.00 for this. Please.... While I dont normally work in my G35--Im about the start with replacing these plugs. Very well done video RB! Kudos... ;)

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah take ur time make u u do all the thread by hand and if u can get torque WRECH go buy it worth it for long run!!

[@jackn5048]

While doing spark plugs it’s also good to inspect the cylinders with a borescope if you have one, compression test and inspect the harness as well as the coils for damage. Don’t forget the dielectric grease around the sides of the spark plug before putting the coils back on. Use a rubber hose to lower the spark plug into the hole, don’t drop them in there.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice tips!!

[@yvn3z794]

Thanks alot for this video man really helpful very informative on everything on what you did so we can all learn how to do it and don't trugle. Thanks alot

Damn, makes me miss doing the spark plugs on my 93 miata.

Hi, can you answer my question g35 rear wheelbearing replacement requirements? does factory requires when replace the wheelbearing alone, or is it essential to replace it with hub?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Hub

[@lg13099]

Do you have to disconnect the battery before doing the work ???

[@RBTheMechanic]

I did not and NO just key off

[@cryptoheights7887]

Looks very helpful video. I am having problem of shaking my car. It is Nissan skyline 2007 v35. I think its a problem of ignition coil. Can I clean them and put them back? How difficult to do that by my self. What is the best chemical to clean them.thank you.

[@RBTheMechanic]

U have to get the code to charge out the coil

[@luis-andresfranco6013]

What’s the torque spec for the spark plugs ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

does the NGK spark plugs need anti seize

[@RBTheMechanic]

No

[@tjgotbands]

i have a misfire i believe. when i accelerate my cars sputters. especially when i try to floor it. you think spark plugs are the issue ??

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well not sure if I haven’t done ur tune up it’s time anways did u scan the car for codes

[@tylerstewart74yaho]

What type of deep well sockets are you using ? I can't find any skinny enough to fit in the well to get the spark plugs out .

[@RBTheMechanic]

It’s spark plug socket u can find it at auto part store

[@OmarDelawar]

Good video bro, I always put a little anti-seize on the spark-plug threads so they come off easily next time.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup that’s good idea

[@BrendanLee-q8t]

I thought there were 6 spark plugs ? Or did you just do 3 for an example

[@RBTheMechanic]

3 for example and other 3 are same process

Very helpful thank you! 🙏🏽

[@hotsauce5404]

What can I use if I don't have a magnet ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

My socket is old and missing the piece I the center that grabs the plugs if ur socket is new it should pull out the spark plug also u can use the coil to grab out the plug

[@B1NO_O]

hey i have a question so i changed the spark plugs on my car and i dont remember how the ignition coil connectors go on cylinder 5 and 6 are they supposed to be crossed ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

I’m not sure if there r crossed but do u have misfire?

[@B1NO_O]

@@RBTheMechanic yes my car has a very rough idle then the rpms will start to drop

No anti-seize compound for sparkplugs?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No I never had any problem and I never see any signs of it on original plug pulled out

[@triggahappy0266]

some spark plugs, such as the double iridium ones i bought, say on the back not to use anti seize, just dielectric grease

[@tygotbandsus5449]

I think my cats on my g35 messed my spark plugs up in my car cause I put it on my code reader it was throwing a misfire on it saying that it wasn’t working right so tomorrow ima cut the cats out and see how it acts cause it’s sounds really ruff or my cats done made my car coil pack go bad

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well misfire u can detect by disconnecting coils see if it has misfire scan for codes

[@ulyslightt]

Is it normal for the ignition coils to be covered in oil also I tried to put my 5/8 in there and it didn’t grip on 2 anything all that came out was my oily ass socket 😂😂😂

[@RBTheMechanic]

U need to replace valve Cover gasket with spark plug bore gromets clean out the oil and then see what’s in there that wouldn’t let u put socket on

[@MrSupercream21]

... all the snap on tools but no spark plug socket and not checking the gap before installing the plug? What in the hell? Shit you can grab some rubber hose and shove it into your socket to retain the spark plug. Rubber vacuum lines are great for hard to reach spark plugs to get them started. But I don't care what yall say pre gapped plugs aren't always gapped right always check.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Will keep that in mind

[@bbjazzmanjazzman7721]

If you order them from China pre gapped then yes, definitely recheck the gap settings.. good call..

[@albertoacevedo9288]

Spark plugs need calibration no just checking have a gap

[@RBTheMechanic]

lol gap!!
