Spark plugs
Hey all. I just ordered some new spark plugs, the new rs7 ones to be exact as the old plugs part # was replaced by this new part number. My question is, has anyone here done their own plugs on the 4.0T engine? If so how hard was it and also is the coil puller required or you could pull out the coils by hand like every other car?

Tip, check hoses to wastegates after you are finished.
It takes nearly zero effort to remove the hose, and it is hidden from view. It may look connected inside the shrouded pipe and not be. I'm not the first one to have low boost codes after a mechanic finished the plug change. Removing coils can put pressure on the nearby line and it pops off but stays inside the inverted plastic pipe on the actuator. Check for kinks too while you're there, since the non rubber portion in between the two rubber hoses is prone to kinking in this same line.
