Changing plugs??
My 14 has about 11,700 miles so I figure its time to change the plugs even though it runs great. How hard is it to change those bad boys. Whats the best way, any special tools needed? Thanks

It's pretty easy , for me anyway ... Use the factory spark plug socket in your tool kit ..

I started to one day got one plug out it looked good so I decided to wait , coming up on 20 grand now, I am going to do it then, Would a wife's small hands help? my hands had a hard time fitting in there...?

Yes small hands are a big help ..  Just take your time and don't rush it ..

Spark plug is a NGK CR9EIA-9. They're iridium. Gap should be .031-.035.
