Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to carefully unscrew the old spark plug. Turn counterclockwise until it is loose enough to remove by hand. Inspect the old plug for any signs of wear or damage.

Before installing the new spark plug, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the threads. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures a good connection. Carefully thread the new spark plug into the engine by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten it with the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench. Use a torque wrench to ensure it is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
