thanks everyone. 5 out of 8 done.

the 2 wires on the passenger side and the last one on the drivers are hard to get to...i have to go buy a shorter extension to even get the wrench in there.

i loaned a torque wrench from autozone, and tried to use it but it seems to not to click even when the bolt seems super snug...

I am using anti-seize.

how tight do the plugs need to be on there? right now since i dont trust the torque wrench i went to "snug"...ie, i could probably get them tighter if i threw my weight into it but not simply using the wrench and arms.

on removal the ones of the passenger side seemed tighter than the ones on the drivers. really had to work to get them off.

good news is that while they need to be replaced, they show normal wear and evenly worn...we will see about the last three.
