In Russia, the overwhelming majority of motorists drive VAZ cars. This is due to the low price of domestic cars. However, consumables such as spark plugs need to be changed from time to time. To do this, it is not at all necessary to contact the service center, where they will charge you money for this simple service. Replacing candles can be done by hand.

New set of candles, socket wrench, cotton gloves, can of compressed air
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, get new candles for your car. It is best to buy only those brands of candles that the manufacturer recommends. Also, try not to buy consumables for your car in suspicious stalls or from your hands, otherwise you risk buying a low-quality product. When buying, pay attention to the integrity of the packaging of the candles. It must be sealed.
Step 2
Open the hood and install a spacer so you don't have to grip it with your hands. On the latest models, a plastic guard is attached to the cylinder head. It must be removed. To do this, unscrew all bolts, the location of which you can find in the owner's manual of your vehicle. Now carefully disconnect all high voltage wires and carefully place them on the cylinder head. Now brush the sockets in which the candles are installed from the accumulated dirt and carbon deposits with a brush. Never use any cleaning agents.
Step 3
Now put on the upper part a socket wrench, the size of which has been previously selected for the new candles. First, you need to carefully move the candle from the dead position in which it is located. After that, the candle should be easily and smoothly unscrewed. If the candle starts to slow down and turns out badly, then make a few turns in the opposite direction and carefully continue to unscrew it further. Such a measure is necessary in order not to spoil the thread.
Step 4
Now insert new candles in place of the old ones. To do this, screw them one by one into the slots in the cylinder block and carefully tighten to a torque of 50 N / m. After that, it is necessary to blow out the connection points of high-voltage wires with compressed air to get rid of dirt and dust. Put on the high voltage wires and start the engine. It should start up easily and work monotonously.
