Done with my 2nd spark plug change
 
Wanted to share my 2nd plug change success with anyone who might feel a lil nervous about it. Ran some 2 bottles of Chevron fuel system clearner and 8 oz of seafoam in her. All 3 tanks of gas were roughly 10 gals in the tank when i ran the cleaners. Decided to tackle it this morning. Gave it a good 15 min ride, popped the hood, remove the EMC/bracket and negative side of the battery. Used a 7 mm socket on the coil screws gave each plug a half turn with a breaker bar. Shot 2-3 good sprays of carb cleaner and let it soak for 30 mins per side. Each one came out easily with a cordless impact, almost too easy. New plugs were i stalled with nickle AS on the shank and a small dap on the threads. When came time to tighten them up, it was done with a 3/8 rachet. They were snugged up, then another 1/8 turn.
Btw, plugs had 60k on them.

Good job! I hope my next change goes like that.
Did my 1st change a few weeks ago and it turned into a 12 hour job.
