- I recommend getting a ratchet with a flex head. This provides ease of movement and more flexibility, especially when used with other jobs

For the 1/4 ratchet using a flex head is not necessary for this job but, comes in handy for other jobs.

10mm plastic nuts
No dielectric grease? I got that plastic cover off pulled it out under the sway bar. Had to re-seat the connections 3x to get the warning light to go away.
Great video though!! Easy to follow and thorough.
Correct, no dielectric grease. There is no need for it.
I have another question. Do you disconnect the battery when performing this spark plug replacement?
It is not necessary to disconnect the battery for this service. But I would have the key off and vehicle asleep.
The start stop button light should be turned off. This will ensure the vehicle is asleep. Takes about 15 min
Thank you!!!

Hi. Why no cleaning with compressed air, before looseing the spark plug?
It’s not necessary to replace the spark plugs.
To replace fuel injectors I would definitely blow out with compressed air first.
Does each coil have a specific spark plug?
No they can be swapped around. They are not paired in any way.
can you link the e18 socket too?

Here you go, is it for the triangle brace? This is a half inch socket because those are on pretty tight.
How come you Said coil 3 is coil 2 ??
What do you call that hook tool you have?
It’s an oversized hook pick. I got mine from a snap on set I bought years ago. I wouldn’t recommend buying it because it’s very expensive and difficult to find by itself. I found one on amazon if you’re interested.
