wrench handle in a counterclockwise direc-
tion.
6. To install the new spark plug, guide the
socket down over the spark plug, being

Spark plugs should be tightened firmly.
Over-tightening can damage the threads in
the aluminum cylinder head. Also, leaving
them too loose can cause the spark plug to
get very hot and possibly result in damage
to the engine.
7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated
connector directly down onto the electrode.
Check to be sure it has snapped into place
and can't fall off.
