How do you remove and replace the spark plugs on a Porsche 911? Here's how to proceed: Lift the car with a jack and secure it. Remove the rear wheel (as shown in the video). Remove the plastic splash shield, then use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the coils from the engine head.

Next, use a socket wrench to unscrew the spark plugs and pull them out of the head. Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the engine head with the extension of the socket wrench, tighten them, and connect the power coils to each spark plug with the new wires.

Finally, reinstall the plastic covers and test their proper function by starting the car.
