How do you replace the spark plugs on a Mazda RX-8?

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Spark plugs

To replace the spark plugs of the Mazda RX-8, you need to open the hood so that you have access to the top of the engine block. Here you will find the upper plastic panel, which protects the engine itself. Below it, you will be able to find the cables connected to the coils, which need to be disconnected, and the coils extracted from their housing. Underneath these, you will be able to locate the spark plugs, which need to be removed from their housing using the appropriate socket wrench. After removal, you can insert the new ones, reassembling all the previously removed components.
