Use the Nissan - supplied spark plug tool available under your rear seat! Its perfect with that tool! The long tool is plugs 1-5 The short tool is plug 6, to be used with another tool, Just check it out and you will see bro!

I've been using that long tube as a cheater bar with my ratchet! :D

How does that last one work. Having similar issues.

first, feel with your hands to find plug #6. Pull out spark plug wire. Stick the short tool down there. There is a notch in the firewall exclusively to clear that tool. Then you need another tool in the set, like a cheater bar, goes on top diagonally, to help twist it loose and do the rest by hand!

Did you also know that the rear seats recline?

Wow. those tools made it so much easier.

Not only is it a spark plug removal tool, but a great breaker bar!

I remember these tools from my old 84 300ZX turbo.

I totally forgot that there are identical engines, just one is 3.0 and the other is 3.3

car runs smooth now!

Gyeah!

Have you been up here in Vallejo?

Im assuming San Dizzle is San Diego?

I love it down there. Visited Mira Mesa area a dozen times in the past two years.

Always nice weather. I remember seeing daisy dukes and some good *** tapioca spots.
