1. Raise the cargo bed.
2. Before removing spark plugs, clean the area around
the base of the plug to keep dirt and debris out of the
engine.
3. Remove the spark plug wires from spark plugs.
4. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plugs.

spark plug if necessary.
A
Do not clean the spark plug in a machine using
abrasive grit. Some grit could remain in the spark plug
and enter the engine causing extensive wear and
damage.
7. Check the gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the
gap from 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to 0.028 in.) by carefully
bending the ground electrode.
8. Reinstall the spark plug into the cylinder head.
