NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when you are
installing a spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.

Do not use any tools to remove or install the
spark plug cap, otherwise the ignition coil
coupler may be damaged. The spark plug

rubber seal on the end of the cap fits tightly.
To remove the spark plug cap, simply twist it
back and forth while pulling it out; to install
it, twist it back and forth while pushing it in.
