How to Replace the Spark Plugs on My Nissan Altima

Model: Nissan Altima L32 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Spark plugs

To replace the spark plugs on your Nissan Altima, first open the hood so you can loosen all the bolts securing the plastic cover on top of the engine block. Once the cover is removed, you can access the ignition coils, which need to be disconnected and pulled out of their housing by loosening the appropriate bolt. After the coils are removed, the spark plugs underneath can be taken out with a socket wrench and replaced with new ones; all other parts can then be reassembled in reverse order.
