How to remove the spark plugs on a Hyundai Santa Fe? Here’s how to proceed with the replacement. Open the engine compartment by lifting the front bonnet and secure it; disconnect the battery terminals.

Remove the soundproofing cover, then take off the metal manifold (as shown in the video); use a screwdriver to detach the coils from the engine head; then unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench and pull them out of the head. Take the new spark plugs and guide them with the extension of the socket wrench into the engine head, tighten them and reconnect the power coils to each spark plug.

After reassembly, close the engine bonnet and test the proper functioning of the plugs.
