How to remove the spark plugs from an Opel Astra? First, lift the bonnet, then remove the engine cover panel. Disconnect the battery terminals.

Unscrew the securing screws above the coil pack: grip the pack with your hands and pull it off until it comes free from the cylinder head. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the spark plugs (remove them from the cylinder head) and take the new spark plug, inserting it into the cylinder head with the socket wrench.

Refit the plastic head cover panel, reconnect the battery terminals. Start the engine and check its operation.
