Installed the autolite 3923 plugs today. Did anyone who changed plugs have a hard time doing it? The biggest problem I had was the rubber piece inside my plug socket was so tight that my socket would come off my wrench and get stuck in the hole. I had to tape my socket on to the extention I was using so I could get it out of the hole. It worked until I got to the last plug on the passenger side in the back near the firewall and the socket got stuck in the hole. had to pull the plug out twice till I got enough tape on the socket to hold it on the extention. Have not driven the truck yet. It did idle smoother when I started it up though.

 

No problems with mine...

 

I didn't have any problems with the socket. I did find it to be overall annoying what with all the crap in the way when trying to get the wrench in there. Changing plugs was definitely a lot faster on my integra

 

Well, hrmm, Rich, there was HALF AS MANY PLUGS, for one...

and they were all top mounted....

jebus.

 

yea too much stuff in the way thats for sure. The last plug in the back on the passenger side was the hardest to get a wrench on.

 

Yup, though if you want to get all technical about it changing plugs was also a lot faster on my Chevy 350. It's not that difficult with this truck, just generally more annoying location is all.

 

Locking extensions.

Well worth the money, especially when one considers how many 8mm and 10mm wobbley's get lost in engine bays. I don't even know how many hours I spent looking for sockets before these extensions came to market.

 

i use two different sockets. one with the rubber boot installed inside and one with out. use the one with out when installing the plug works alot better and the other while removing it

 

I agree the last plug removal/install by the passenger side firewall was definitely a challenge. What helped for me was an offset swiveling socket adapter I've had for awhile.

 

Good info. My project for this weekend (hopefully!). My first free weekend in two months. I'm excited.
