Can some1 tell me how to do spark plugs on zetec? How do you set the gap? I know I need to buy a gap tool but then what? Any special way of removing wires(I know to remember which is which)? What socket size do I need for spark plugs (3/8?)? Why does removing the wires take an hour? Do I need a special tool for the wires?
One more thing, what is this about torque? Do I need a torque ratchet to put plugs in? How tight are they supposed to be? I don't have a torque ratchet, so I need to know by hand tight plus one turn or whatever.
I believe that plugs on modern cars are 5/8". Just make sure not to break the ceramic when installing. It's not that difficult to do...
