Default RE: tune-up clk 430

hi not to bad but expensive each coil end (plug wire around 18$ each cyl .has 2 for total 16 plus spark plugs at 5$ each looking around $300+ give or take ) also i recommend owning a spark plug socket which has a universal swivel on top built in (can be purchased for $9 any auto store ) then a 1 inch 3/8 entension also helps (if you have air took a 3/8 ratchet to remove plugs is a big help if not a extended length 3/8 flex head ratchet is a must have. remove the air cleaner tubes rt/lt do one cyl and a time so you dont mix them up biggest hint is to stand in front of the headlights on the side your working on and pull the ratchet towards you rather than bending over the fender and fighting with it . this way you get better leverage with less effort repalce the plugs when car is cold and place antiseize around the threads of the new plugs going in tighten to spec and you should be ok
