[QUOTE="TCSoff, post: 8638637, member: 51121"] If you are careful they won't break. I changed mine at 60K miles with no problems. I used a torque wrench, set to 35lbs IIRC, to make sure I wasn't putting too much stress on the plugs. I used a little bit of carb cleaner to break up the carbon deposits. I was so relieved after I was done as I've heard a few nightmare stories. Also you want to be careful when removing the coil packs as the contacts seem to come off if you just pull them off. You have to work them back and forth a little. Edit: BTW I replaced them with Autolite HT1's and put anti-seize compound on the thread. [/QUOTE]
