To remove and replace the spark plugs in a Honda Civic, you will need a 14mm spark plug socket. The socket should have a 3/8″ square drive.
Here are the steps to change the spark plugs in a Honda Civic:
1. Remove the HT leads from their housing on the spark plugs. Gently pull them out, making sure to grab them as close to the casing as possible.
2. Use the 14mm spark plug socket and a ratchet with an extension attachment to loosen and remove the spark plugs.
3. Install the new spark plugs by hand, making sure not to cross-thread them. Then, use the spark plug socket and ratchet to tighten them to the recommended torque specification. Be careful not to overtighten the spark plugs.
4. Reinstall the HT leads onto the spark plugs, making sure they are securely seated.
Remember to change the spark plugs at the recommended intervals, which can vary depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Faulty spark plugs can cause issues such as hard starts, reduced gas mileage, engine misfiring, and lack of acceleration.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
