How can I remove a spark plug from a Toyota Corolla?

Answer by  James916 (539)

You will need a socket wrench and a spark plug socket. Remove the old spark plugs by unbolting them from the engine heads with the wrench and socket. You should gap your new spark plugs. Then you can install your new plugs and tighten them snug with the spark plug socket.

Buy a socket wrench, a spark plug socket, new plugs. Find the spark plug wires, pull off from the boot, and unscrew the plugs. Before you put the new plugs in, put an anti seize compound on the threads. Then screw in the new plugs and replace the boots. Make sure you match the correct boot to the plug.

You have to go and buy a spark plug wrench then you just take the wrench pull the wire off put it on the plug and turn it out and put your new ones in. Only take one wire off at a time though you don't want a mess.

Spark plugs are typically located on the top part of the engine, and can be removed with a standard deep socket. Find the spark plug wires to find the plugs.

Pull the spark plug wire by the boot, and remove the spark plug with a spark plug socket. Replace the other by hand until it's finger tight. Pretty easy, huh?

Start by removing the engine cover. Then unbolt the coil on each cylinder and twist it off to break the seal. Then use a socket and extension to break the plug loose. A piece of hose can help remove the plug. Install the new correctly gapped plug with some anti-seize.

Remove the spark plug wire boot. Insert a 5/8 inch spark plug socket, and remove the spark plug. Remember which spark plug wire goes to which spark plug socket as this is essential for the motor to run proper.

After removing the coil/wire simply use a socket and un-screw it. then use an old wire or piece of hose to slide it out of the head. Reverse the process making sure to apply a small amount of anti-seize on the threads and some dielectric grease on the contact.

Find the spark plug wire, pull it out. Then get a socket wrench, usually a 3/8 inch and a 5/8 inch spark plug puller ($1 at auto store). Then pop the socket on and take it out. To put it in just reverse.

You will need a rachet, 6" extension and an 11/16 spark plug socket. Remove the plug wires one at a time, remove the spark plug and replace with new one.
