How to change spark plugs on 2005 honda civic?

Remove the wire cover using a Flathead on the 2 plastic screw thingies. The plastic peice on top of the engine that usually says Honda.



Remove the little nut from the Ignition Coils, careful those little buggers like to drop down into the bay and since they are black, not fun to find.



Lift the coils slightly so you can unplug the wire by squeezing the sides of the plastic clips for the wires and pulling it off.



Use a 5/8 I think plug socket to loosen the plugs and lift them out..



Put the new ones in using some anti seize compound, put about a drop the size of a sunflower seed, maybe little more on your finger and rub your finger around the threads to give them a nice coat. Tighten them to about 12lbs of Torque. Start by hand tightening them with the 5/8 plug socket on the end of an extension, if they don't turn easy back off and try again, do not, do not, do not strip them, or force them in some weird way. You should get a few nice even easy turns out of them by hand.



Put a dab of diaelectric grease into the ignition coils, helps if you buy the can of the stuff with the little plastic nozzel, I got some from Autozone. It's in a white and red can.



Slide the coils in most of the way far enough to plug the wires back in, push the coils back all the way down and put the little nuts back on.



Put the wire cover back on.
