Changing the spark plugs easily and simple

If you know the difference between a diesel and petrol engine, you know that the spark plugs are an important part of gasoline cars. Those that are responsible for generating the spark for the engine to run properly. They are not too expensive piece and changed without much difficulty. Only one problem when change is that many adventurers, for not doing properly, end up breaking new plugs. If you keep these to change the spark plugs in your car will be hard to do it wrong:

Step 1. Locate and clean

The first step is quite simple, just know where the candles are. Where do I start looking? You have to start by removing the plastic cover that usually take up motor, that which is right where the oil plug. To remove it, you usually have to remove the oil plug, yes, be careful not enter anything inside!). Once removed, we can see a series of cables having a connected pipes (yes, they are called pips).

If you reached this step, congratulations, because the plugs are within those pipes. Now you must remove these pipes carefully and cleaned with a brush the area (both internal and external) to prevent dirt from entering the engine. For a more thorough cleaning, it is advisable to use air pressure. If you do not have that resource, you can always get air to the lungs and simulate this process.

Step 2. Remove the spark plug

Once we have cleaned the area, touching unscrew the spark plug to change it. This is usually a special tool for this is used, but not really necessary. We can choose to use a ratchet with an extension. Also, you need a long expansion vessel (so you can get inside the spark plug) to the extent. The unscrew on and then carefully take it off (if the plug is no longer useful, no need to be so careful).

Step 3: Lubricate the spark plug and place

Then you should lubricate partially the surface of the spark plug that is in contact with the combustion chamber, with 3 in 1 or similar. Then, before inserting the plug into the expansion tank is advisable to put some paper in the same order for the spark plug no dancing and no possibility of it falling when inserting it into its hole. It is a fairly common fault, you fall and break, so first of all, make sure the paper does not fall dance and expansion vessel.

Now comes the time to introduce all spark plugs and tighten.

Step 4: Leave everything as it was

Finally, we must replace the pipes in place and cover the entire area with plastic that has serial. Before you put to work, you should consider a couple of notes that can be very useful and vital:

Even if you have to remove the oil cap, ideally working with him since, to avoid surprises.
If you think you're confused with the accommodation of each pipe, you can number them so that when riding all over again no mistake.
