Spark plug change question?

[JeepOwner07]

So i've never done spark plugs before. In researching the writeups here, and you tube videos etc (i do a lot of researching cause i don't want to screw up something lol) i see nothing about cleaning the area first. Yet with one or two videos i did. I guess to keep dirt that may be around the sockets from falling in.

Is this needed. I do have a air compressor, but it is heavy and would be a pain in the ass to haul up from my basement and outside. '

Thx

Yes blow out the plug wells after you remove the coil but before you remove the plug.

Definitely clean out the area first. Better to haul up the heavy ass compressor than have that crap fall in the cylinders.

My compressor's in my basement, too, but I have the hose on a spool bolted to the ceiling joists and it pulls straight out the outside basement doors. 100' of hose covers a great deal of my yard and driveway.

The problem is your hose is too short. Ummm, yeah, that's it!

Just get some of that canned compressed air. Pretty cheap and will work just fine.

For the 20 dollars worth of hose and couple fittings you need anyway.

I noticed the video is very Scotty Kilmer-ish, but with a twist of smartass!
If it's used as a video for dummies, the viewer might not know where the leg pulling ends and the real stuff starts!

I had no clue Chrysler was hiding sparkplugs behind the steering wheel and in the spare tire. I better change those ASAP.
