Thread: Changing Spark Plugs on a 2004 Grand Prix

See that little metal sheild that is over the plug boot, you can see that one thats by the oil dipstick, that comes off with the plug boot and the spark plug is right undernearth that.

Yes you can twist and pull on the metal shield, and yes the heat sheild is will come off with the plug boot.

The fronts are gunna be easy to change, but the will be a little harder to do because of the tight space. Some people just un-bolt the dog bones AKA ( front motor mounts) they should be black and right in front of your face when you open the hood. Then they rachet strap the engine forward to give them move room in the back to change the plugs.
