Holy crap, I had no idea it was this easy to do! My car has been misfiring and I only just got paid, so thanks to this, I can go handle it myself! Thank you for the good tutorial!

[@SoftxSniper]

Thank you for actually explaining things well and showing what you were doing. A lot of other videos had problems with both of those things.

[@sidbrant]

No problem, I hope it helps!

[@FilipinoBboyclan]

Helpful video! And crazy how you mostly did this using 1 hand.

[@sidbrant]

Glad I could help!

[@Slipshott]

You put to shame all of the guys om youtube who change the front three plugs and don't say anything about the back three. They should take their videos off of youtube. watching them is a waste of time. Thanks for doing the job completely, and showing the easiest way to attack the rear plugs.

[@sidbrant]

I'm glad the video helped, that's the goal!

[@redwolf0849]

You're the only guy that removes the whole coil pack bracket coils and all. I can't get to the number 1 cylinder with that in the way. Thanks.

[@sidbrant]

Glad I could help!

[@petemax5243]

Thanks for the video

[@justinroark56]

Thanks for getting right into it instead of a long monologue before. Best video so far. Thanks much!

[@sidbrant]

Lol thank you!

[@sammyb5869]

This is how it's done. Thank You bro 💯

[@lamarmanning2368]

I really appreciate you fixing this video for us to go by it's going to save me so much time the reason I know that is I've been working on my daughter's car for about 3 weeks trying to get the alternator out so I can replace the valve cover gasket on the rear and the tricky showed us about moving the motor forwards I should be finished by the end of the day thank you so much

[@sidbrant]

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

[@snakeclaw]

Thx for making this vid. I don't want to dog you too much but I just did my 2006 impala. There's plenty of room on the backside of the engine especially once the coil is removed. No need to tilt the engine. Also, I do not have a 5/8 inch spark plug socket either. Just put two small pieces of black electrical tape inside the socket. It will then be snug enough to remove and insert new plugs without them dropping

[@sidbrant]

You're welcome, what some may find useless may help another. Hope you found the video helpful!

[@andrejohnson9380]

I Think Your video was the very best out of many I watched concerning changing spark plugs and wires on my 2009 Chevy Impala. Plus it was very easy to follow. The camera placement showing exactly how to get to the rear plugs. I also liked that idea to use a come along to pull the engine forward making easier access to work on removing the rear spark plugs. I also liked the tip of spinning wire heads some to remove them off the plug easier .☝🏽😀👍🏽

[@sidbrant]

I'm glad I could help!

[@adellacrosby2794]

I agree, the strap was a great idea! ❤

[@03Lopez03]

hey man just wanted to say that your video was really informative and gives good insights on where to look for the spark plugs. Last few vids I watched it was just a dude completing the work without showing lol. Thank you!

[@sidbrant]

Lol you're welcome! Glad I could help

[@justinfralish1713]

Much appreciated mano! I have an 07 Impala I am gonna try the cheap route first and do the plugs today. Would've never thought to use a ratchet strap

[@sidbrant]

I hope it fixes it man!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Glad I was able to be your 1000th Like. A friend need wires,and I figured I'd do plugs as well.TY for the info.

[@ems390]

Thanks for posting this video, made it look easy. Im still dreading trying this myself

[@sidbrant]

The videos always make it look easy lol. This job isn't bad though, compared to the last two spark plug jobs I just did where the upper intake manifold had to be taken off, this jobs is cake.

[@dekared01]

Definitely took notes watching this video, been a big help

[@sidbrant]

Glad it helped!

Thanks for the vid man, i didn’t know how to make space to replace the ones in the back 😅 new sub 🤟🏼

[@sidbrant]

You're welcome man!

[@LM77va]

4:51 Here's the part everyone is looking for.

[@dariussimmons34]

I'm gonna attempt to do this myself on my 2011 impala LT. I already got the front and back removed I just need to focus on them back ones. I got the new coil pack I just gotta get the new spark plug wires. Anyway great video and thanx for explaining everything new sub.

[@sidbrant]

I'm glad the video was helpful! Thank you for the sub

[@lilyetitv]

*He bold asf spreading that with his finger*

[@markrupprnkamp5832]

Great video you explained everything thoroughly.

[@sidbrant]

Thank you!!

[@austinhernandez2716]

The front is easy, I had no idea how to do the back ones though. So thanks, this should help. I'm gonna check mine this weekend because there's misfire constantly and the engine is shaking badly and not wanting to accelerate good. I replaced the throttle body but that didn't work. I hope it's the spark plugs and nothing else.

[@sidbrant]

I hope they do they trick man!

[@noneya3504]

Great video. My granddaughter just bought a 2006 Impala that has a #1 misfire. Thanks for the video. Going to try replacing the spark plugs first. Looks like a total spark plug replacement will not be that hard with your guidance. T

[@sidbrant]

Thank you, I hope it works out well for you!

[@noneya3504]

@@sidbrant Got the plugs changed and the spark plug wires. Plugs apparently were the original ones as they were very hard to get out. Managed to get them out without breaking any. Plugs looked horrible and the car runs so much better. Have not been able to re-scan to see if the misfire went away but pretty confident that it is not.

[@user-yp6kj8qv7r]

Nice that was excellent thanks

[@sidbrant]

No problem!

Well done, precise, well thought out……

[@sidbrant]

Thanks!

[@PantherSteven]

Sid, that spark plug cap you removed in the back, is that a distributor cap? Should it be changed aswell? Great video with music!

[@sidbrant]

Thank you! It's the coil pack (newer version of a distributor) and this one was still good so I didn't change it out, but if you wanted to it would be a great time to do it!

[@mistymerdia3738]

[@izloyal9606]

thx bro 💯

[@billjeffries7407]

Ugh so I started last night and removed the motor mount bolts and the motor moved back toward the firewall about a inch. I got the ratchet strap on same as you and it’s super tight but not pulling the motor forward. Thinking my driveway to steep maybe? Going to move to the street later today and see if that helps. My bolts didn’t slid out at all, needed a punch and hammer with all that weight on them. Hopefully it’s just the slope of the driveway and nothing else. 😮

[@billjeffries7407]

😂 level street is best y’all!

[@sidbrant]

😂😂

[@BigCed]

Good video

[@sidbrant]

Thank you!

[@Joseph-nj1up]

Where did you get the torque specs? I wanted to change my transmission fluid but my owners manual doesn’t mention the specs.

[@sidbrant]

I searched it on Google and got it off of a forum I believe

[@maxxamillion1018]

Can you do a video on changing the fuel injectors on the chevy impala please

[@moisesjasso7209]

The reason I'm asking because on Google it says 135 on the front spark plug diagram and then another picture has 246 in the front of the motor so which one is it

[@moisesjasso7209]

I have a question I'm about to do the tune-up on my car it's a 2010 Chevy Impala 3.5 LT what number of specs should the spark plug be gapped to

[@sidbrant]

Looks like 0.043"

[@Bawkr]

Spark plug sockets are overrated, but I do use em. Not every single time is it the best tool tho.

[@sidbrant]

They are great! I just don't have one lol

[@dxbxxxdddbbb]

spray wd40 first and twist coil pack nice and easy , also use a cushioned 5/8 with rubber insert incase the ceramic breaks on the spark plug. if u crack the spark plug and you get ceramic in the engine its a nightmare

[@mjpthetrucker9485]

Just did this on same car an hour ago. Getting to the back spark plugs is a full blown pain.

[@sidbrant]

Definitely is

[@moisesjasso7209]

I have a 2010 Chevy Impala Lt 3.5 and the front of the motor where the fans are at what numbers are those in spark plugs 135 or 246

[@sidbrant]

Are you asking what number each cylinder is?

[@moisesjasso7209]

It's cuz the last time I did a spark plug change I took them all off I didn't go one by one and I don't know if I have the wire connected right to the distributor

[@moisesjasso7209]

Yes which cylinder is which number on a 2010 Chevy Impala LT is it 135 cylinders in front of the motor

[@KaiGuy88]

What spark plugs did you use and what wires do u get

[@sidbrant]

I believe this customer just wanted the cheaper ones from the local Autozone, Advance Auto or O'Reillys if I remember correctly

[@themadman32]

OKI am literally confused what this man is doing with his line lock. Because I know people that have done spark plug changes and didn't even use line log but I also know that it's recommended to use it. And I have never seen someone put lion on thread and then spread it around with your thumb. You put the line lock on and then you screw it in the hole that weighed the threads on both sides get golden locked. That's how thread locker is used. You put a line and then you screw it in

[@tammylewis3957]

My impala’s a 2010 it started missing I took it to auto zone no code s any ideas???

[@sidbrant]

That is an odd one, usually you can't get the code to go away lol

[@jaya5805]

What do you recommend when my impala feels sluggish? I feel like it doesn't have that a strong acceleration.

[@sidbrant]

I would check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes first

[@dheeke]

I see your a/c makes that same annoying loud clicking sound as mine does whenever you reconnect the battery or turn the temp all the way down. What is that anyway?!?!

[@dheeke]

Anyway I forgot to say, extremely well done! This was most helpful for doing a tune up on my own 2007.

[@sidbrant]

My guess would be the teeth on the motor of the blend door that changes the temperature slipping

[@sidbrant]

Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@GetawayKen]

I just did my 3.9 bro those back ones got my arms hella scratched up did it no ratchet lol

[@timothylaboniaskthequestio9739]

I dont like how chevy put the Last 3 in the back

[@sidbrant]

Those sideways v6's man lol

[@imserious2187]

Listen to those damn actuators SMH lol

[@sidbrant]

Lol I was wondering what that noise was

[@moisesjasso7209]

AutoZone is saying 0.60 and I saw a couple of videos on KZbin and they say 0.44 or 0.45 but then AutoZone is telling me 0.60

[@moisesjasso7209]

So cylinder 246 is in front of the motor and the 135 in the back? And what should a spark plug be got to 0.44 or 0.60

[@sidbrant]

Looks like 123 in the back 456 in the front. Plugs are 0.043"

[@moisesjasso7209]

Because in your video you said let's pull wire number one which was in front of the motor and I thought even numbers were together and odd work together how are you reading the firing order from the driver side Tire to the right side Tire

[@sidbrant]

Cylinder number and firing order are two different things. You asked for cylinders

[@moisesjasso7209]

It's because I was doing a tune-up and I bought a new ignition coil and I took off all the wiring from the spark plugs not knowing in what order they go to what number from the ignition coil that's what I need help on

[@Mistamista69]

How much weight does the ratchet strap need to be able to handle? Awesome video btw

[@sidbrant]

Not much, I think that was a 400lb strap
