Open the bonnet of the engine compartment. Remove the plastic cover that protects the engine block.

To do this, you need to remove two clips at the front of the cover using a screwdriver and a plastic trim tool. Disconnect all cables and hoses connected to the cylinder head and the cooling grille.

Remove the cooling grille after unscrewing the three bolts that secure it in place with the appropriate tool. Disconnect the power from the spark plug you want to replace, remove the connection, and finally, unscrew the spark plug.

Replace it with the new spark plug and repeat the same operations in reverse order. The maintenance operation shown in the images is performed on a Mazda CX-7.
