How do you change the back spark plugs in a 2004 Kia Sedona?

To change the back spark plugs in a 2004 Kia Sedona, follow these steps:

1. Gather the necessary tools and parts.

* Spark plug socket

* Spark plug wrench

* New spark plugs (4)

* Dielectric grease

2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

This will prevent the engine from starting while you are working on the spark plugs.

3. Remove the engine cover.

The engine cover is located on top of the engine. It is usually held in place by a few bolts or clips.

4. Locate the spark plugs.

The spark plugs are located on the top of the engine, near the front. They are usually labeled with the letters "SP".

5. Remove the old spark plugs.

Use the spark plug wrench to loosen the old spark plugs. Be careful not to drop the spark plugs into the engine.

6. Inspect the old spark plugs.

The old spark plugs can tell you a lot about the condition of your engine. If the spark plugs are worn or damaged, it may be time for a tune-up.

7. Apply dielectric grease to the new spark plugs.

This will help to prevent the spark plugs from seizing in the engine.

8. Screw the new spark plugs into place.

Hand-tighten the new spark plugs until they are snug. Then, use the spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plugs until they are snug.

9. Reattach the engine cover.

Reattach the engine cover and reconnect the negative battery terminal.

10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the spark plugs. If you see any leaks, tighten the spark plugs until the leaks stop.
