Use vacuum tubing to put them back in.

 

I keep a scrap plug wire lying around the garage to aid in re-installing plugs. Just "pop" it on then use it to screw in your new plug.

 

Vacuum tubing? Why stock plugs over something else?

Any rubber hose will do.......some aftermarket plugs don't play well with the computer or the motor. The older jeeps were particularly funny about needing Champion or OEM NGK plugs.

 

Good to know!

Not sure about using anti-seize on these plug threads. In most cases the new plugs are plated by the manufacturer and they specifically state NOT to use anti-sieze grease. For one thing it screws up the dry torque spec for re-tightening and you run a risk of stripping out the threads in the head, though I am not sure if that is a likely occurrence in these engines.

I had always been a greaser in the past until I had a properly retorqued spark plug back out (partially) and then blow out taking the top 1/2 of the threads. This required a re-thread with a Time_Sert kit ($$$) and expensive replace of the COP coils on that engine (it was a SAAB) but the head was salvaged and the engine runs on today.

So, use anti-seize on your plugs at your own risk. YMMV
