Spark Plug Changing C70 1999

I'm thinking of tackling spark plugs on my own.

Did some some searches and found some helpful tips :

- Don't remove connector[wire] from coil pack, just unbolt
and twist and pop off coil pack.

- Use small amount of antiseize the spark plug threads.

- Install new plugs with fingers not socket. Once seated
tighten lightly with long socket.

- Use a little dielectric grease in coil pack boot.

The turbo hose is over my spark plug cover.
This hose is not shown in my Haynes manual. Must I disconnect
both sides of the tube, or just one to get to the plugs.

Also, should I be intimidated by changing my own spark
plugs on my c70. I do level one stuff like oil changes, etc.

    Spark Plug Changing S70 1998

    I just did this on my S70 and it's not a big deal. Took about 30 minutes. You will need a torx to remove the cover. Clean around the spark plug so that dirt doesn't fall into the cylinder. Also, I wouldn't do this without a torque wrench because it's easy to strip the treads on the engine if you overtighten. Additionally, get a socket made for spark plugs since these prevent the spark plugs from slipping out of the socket, otherwise, you outlined the procedure very well.
