gonna use the 6" extension and 3/8 ratchet for the first four plugs closest to the radiator. Bust it loose and after a few cranks, you can hand loosen the plug out. Best to double check that all the gaps are correct on the new plugs before installation. Subaru sp...
That’s the only place I found the torque spec for spark plugs; there’s nothing in the spark plug section. #11 Mendel Leisk, Jan 16, 2024 Tombukt2 Senior Member Joined: Nov 29, 2020 10,924 1,895 0 Location: Durham NC Vehicle: 2009 Prius Model: Base Yes and for ...
Check the plug gap on new spark plugs (see below) before installing them. Use the socket to install and tighten the new plugs - be careful of over-torquing. Hand-tightening each plug is ideal, using a torque wrench for the last bit. ...
no need to detach the wiring. 10 mm wrench use a spark plug socket with an extension to remove the plugs. when installing the plugs, use an antisieze lube sparingly on the threads, don't get it on the end of the plugs. torque to the correct spec. i don't have it off the top o...
If you're using anti-seize (sparingly) on the threads, I would go with 13 foot/pounds torque. Dry threads: 15 ft/lb. There's a singnificant amount of disassembly needed to get to the plugs. Have a look at @NutzAboutBolts video on spark plug changing, here (pinned at top of 3rd...
a std. spark plug socket 5/8" IIRC (with the rubber insert inside the socket) a few 6" long extensions a torque wrench I just changed the plugs last weekend and these are the tools I used. Other trick I did, is to use the extension slid under the keeper of the coil as a handle...

spark advance up to its knock-limited spark advance (KLSA) limit (this being the point at which the curves end, i.e., at these high BMEP conditions minimum park advance for best torque (MBT) could not be reached before this point, in spite of the high knock resistance of the fuels)...
