      Replace Sparkplugs

      Before I start to take things apart and maybe mess up something... how do you replace the sparkplugs in a 2005 Aveo? I know the cover has to come off with 4 allen screws and you must move a hose, but how do I get the coils off the top of the plugs without breaking anything?

      Thanks!!

      exactly, just pull straight up. it will make a lil suctiony poppy sound and boom you have spark plug access. it helps to have the right tool for the job tho. i have a special tool just for it. its a t-handle with a socket on it that has the rubber piece inside to help hold the plug in place and reduce breakage of the plug.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      Thank You

      Job was a snap. Thanks for the advice and help. New plugs were gapped and installed in well under 1/2 hour. Definite improvement in running and I hope it will improve gas mileage.
