Author Topic: Spark plug change 10250 New Member Member # 2182 posted                    Need some tips on how to change spark plugs on my 96 (SLP) SS in my driveway. The repair shops want 400.00 to do it. It can't be that dificult...Can it?

You'll sacrifice some flesh in the process. -------------------- Do you own a '96-'02 Camaro SS?

Took me about 1 hour 15 minutes to do. Driver's sides is a walk in the park. A nightmare on the passnger side. You'll have to get #8 from under the car. Use lots of patience and maybe some Mechanix gloves. My knuckles are still bruised from the change out and that was 2 days ago.

Just be VERY careful with the Y-pipe to manifold bolts...They shear easily. Moving to Tech section, too... -------------------- 1999 Trans Am - Pewter, A4, 3.23's Stock for now Posts: 471 | From: Justin, in the Great State, Texas | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged
