ZPOST - View Single Post - Visual How-To: Replacing Spark Plugs

I got one of these and I think I got my 15 clams worth.
Extra long for our deep tubes and has a magnet that holds the plug quite well while being no-touch on the ceramic.

FWIW I clean the coil and the plug with alcohol then run a little dielectric grease up the coil snout and around the part that seats into the top of the tube. Not aware that it's ever caused any electrical issues, and it sure makes it a lot easier to get apart next time.
And after almost stripping the head on my MR2 trying to get seized plugs out, I always use a little anti-seize, but I only torque to 16 ft*lbs.
