R50/53 R50 DIY spark plugs
It's ridiculously easy!
You need a spark plug socket, a torque wrench and if available, some dielectric grease.
Do them one at a time, so the plug wires don't get mixed up. If you are using oem plugs, they have multiple electrodes and don't need to be gapped, if they are single electrode, then check what the manufacturer says.
Remove plug wire, remove plug with socket and torque wrench (or any ratchet). Put new plug in. (if you don't have a magnetic socket or a socket that holds the plug snugly, use some rubber tubing that will fit over the plug to lower it down and start the threads. Then tighten to correct torque. Put dielectric grease on plug wire connector and plug it back in...repeat on other plugs.
I think that's all...I don't have the part numbers for stock plugs though.
