👍🏻 nailed it again… G to G 😊

[@WrenchingRyan]

Thanks again!

[@Norman_Fleming]

Excellent video.

[@WrenchingRyan]

Thanks for watching.

[@roanokejoe]

excellent video! What is that tool you're using to screw the sparkplugs in? Yes, I have virtually ZERO car knowledge.

[@WrenchingRyan]

That is 5/8 spark plug socket with locking extension. Thanks for watching.

[@roanokejoe]

@@WrenchingRyan I mean, what electric ratchet is that?

[@WrenchingRyan]

@@roanokejoe that is 3/8 Milwaukee electric ratchet, you can buy this tool at Home Depot.

pretty easy set up on this vehicle - but no mention of dielectric grease OR checking your gap before inserting plugs.. for a newbie I would recommend a more thorough video selection.

[@WrenchingRyan]

I appreciate the feedback. You are right about the dielectric grease and gap. I'll make sure I add it to my videos in the future.

What would you recommend if I do not have torque wrench

[@WrenchingRyan]

I strongly recommend to torque them to spec. You can get cheap torque wrench from harbor freight.

[@rashadsattarov1729]

Thanks for video! Could u please clarify whether replaced ones (old) were factory installed? or once they were replaced ?

[@WrenchingRyan]

Yup those old spark plugs are factory installed. Thanks for watching.

What’s the torque specs

[@Arif_Run4Life]

Is it recommended to add grease to the spark plugs?

[@WrenchingRyan]

Not at all, but sometimes when you purchase aftermarket spark plugs they included a anti seize lubricate, you’re welcome to apply some, as long as you torque those within spec. You’ll be fine. Thanks for watching.

[@Arif_Run4Life]

@@WrenchingRyan Thanks for quick reply.

(3) mistakes (in my opinion): He didn't gap the new plugs, which is .044" (1.1 mm), three, I wouldn't use a power wrench taking out the old plugs (the plugs are steel and the head is aluminum). Don't want to screw up the start threads in the block, and it's a good idea to use anti-seize on the plugs & hold-down bolts, so next time, they come out easy.

[@WrenchingRyan]

Great opinion, noted. Thanks

[@thebreachdetailing6006]

Plugs are pre-gap you don't touch them. Its not a must to put antiseize... there is none from the factory. Its torque at around 15lbs lol, you can do it with one hand

[@colehara]

I agree. Sure the plugs are pre-gapped but that can change if they're knocked around in shipping. I always double check. I wouldn't use a power wrench either. And the antisieze is always a good idea especially with dissimilar metals such as steel and aluminum.

[@crimsonpearl4686]

What brand are those OEM plugs?? I just replaced in my 2017 Elantra with 54K with the NGK 9723 plug.

[@WrenchingRyan]

They are Champion, NGK are good brand. Thanks for watching.

[@hyperaseva]

I would have replaced the rubber boots at the end of the coil. It’s good insurance

[@WrenchingRyan]

Good idea. Thanks for watching.

[@SuperBlindEagle]

I followed this step by step and my check engine light came on shortly after. Is there something i did wrong???

[@WrenchingRyan]

are all connectors plugged in properly?

[@SuperBlindEagle]

@carlawschanneletc double check the connection and everything is properly secured. I drove for a couple of miles today and the check engine light randomly went away.

[@rubenvega4618]

That's so weird my 2018 Hyundai Elantra the ignition coil didn't come out that easy the inner tube is insulated in rubber

[@Southgrow954]

Nice , replaced them twice I’m at 53k miles

[@WrenchingRyan]

Good job, pretty easy huh. Thanks for watching.
