"Hi. I'm John, with Expertvillage.com, and we are replacing our spark plugs. Now, we've gone over the tools we need. We need to be clean and we need the engine to be cooled off. Here are spark plug wires. There's a spark plugs here, here, here and here. Now before we do this, make sure the car is off because it will shock you. The battery has about twelve volts of electricity and with the alternator in your car, it can boost it up to about sixteen. So don't get shocked; that's the last thing you want; take the key out of your car to be safe. Now all we've got to do, all it is is hooked on to the end of the spark plug, so let's just pull it out. It's that easy; the spark plug is all the way in there. Check this to see if this is hot. If this is hot, then your spark plug is hot and it might burn you, so be careful. Now don't pull them all out at the same time, because if we mix them up the firing order will be off and your car won't run. So make sure you pull them out one at a time."
