Spark Plug Removal Made Easier
 

Well it has been 80K miles and 7 years since I last replace my spark plugs.

Thanks to anti-seize compound on the plug threads and dielectric grease on the boots (the last time I replaced the plugs) the plugs came out with a little force. It was much better then the original plugs which I replaced at 80K miles/4+ years which I had to struggle getting not only the boots off but also fought with the plugs the entire way out.

Needless to say I put anti-seize and dielectric grease on the new plugs.

Just don't use your torque wrench to tighten to published specifications because you'll overtighten.
