To replace the spark plugs in the Hyundai Santa Fe, open the bonnet to access the components located inside the engine bay: here, you will be able to detach the cover from the top of the engine block to locate the underlying coils. These coils must now be removed from their seats to access the spark plugs underneath: these can now be removed using the appropriate socket key. After removal, you can insert the new spark plugs and reposition the coils and the panel.
