They are easy to get to and install. The cylinder around the plug help get
the angle right away. However, I needed to put a 1" wrench on a breaker bar
to get enough leverage to break each plug. They were friggen tight. There is
no way they need to be that tight. I torqued each one around 30lbs (boch
platinum regulars, NOT +4)

Subject: DML: Spark Plugs and Platinum + 4

I was wondering from all you DMLers who have changed your plugs if they are
easy to get to and remove. I was changing my oil today and started to look
around under the hood and got to thinking. Oh yea get this. I live in
Illinois and it has been cold and full of snow. So I think why go through
the
hassle of changing my own oil. I will have it done this one time. So I go
to
the local Quaker State to get it done with full synthetic. This guy want to
charge me $50 bucks for it. I said screw that for $25 I will freeze my ass
off and just do it myself. Luckily it was about 40 today so I lucked out.
One more thing someone had asked how you gap the Boch platinum plus 4 plugs
because they have the 4 prongs? What was the answer and how much do they
cost?
