Changing Plugs - '93 JGC V-8
It has probably been 40 years since I have changed plugs on one of my
vehicles. Primarily because when I was working I never kept a car long enough for it to need new plugs. My '93 JGC V-8 has 90,000 miles, and it is time for new ones. I thought I would just do it myself so I bought a set of plugs. Then I had second thoughts and checked with a couple of independent shops, and they both wanted $60 just for the labor! The Jeep dealer wanted even more! Am I missing something here? I know on my '67 GTO you had to put it on a hoist, remove the front wheels, and go in through the wheel wells. The JGC looks pretty easy. Maybe the air cleaner tube needs to come off, but other than that, I can't see why it would cost $60 to remove and install 8 spark plugs. I see that there are little metal sleeves around each plug, and the plastic cap has a ridge that kind of covers the sleeve. Is it OK to pull on the ridge to remove the plug wires? Or do you need a special puller? Can you just leave the metal sleeve in place and take the plug out through it? Thanks. Dick |
