Subaru HT Leads

[Paul]

Is fitting new HT leads much of a job? I've got new spark plugs and ordered leads.

I'm aware that fitting the plugs is for somebody who has done it before, but what about the leads?

Thanks

na plugs and leads are still simple enough bud, just a bit awkward to get at is all. All you need to remove is the airbox and battery. Youll be fine doing it yourself.

Doable with battery in. Some people remove battery, washer tank, airbox etc but it's not so bad really after the first time you do them.
Many don't have leads at all but guess yours isn't coil over plug.

It does help to have done it before but if you never do it you never get good at it.
Personally, I find that a 3/8ths short knuckle bar works best with a short (2" I think) extension.

Use the knuckle bar just to do the first part tweak where you loosen the plug, and assuming they aren't tight to turn, remove the knuckle bar and then just turn the tip of the extension bar by hand to remove the plug fully. You tend to find that it's easiest to turn it thumb and first finger, like turning a volume knob if you see what I mean.

Good luck

Thanks for this. Haven't tackled this yet. The leads still haven't arrived, so I'm waiting on these.

The Subaru has been off the road due to a split in the top rad hose. Hose has arrived today, will be fitting that tonight. And taking her for a spin, can't wait lol Been over a week.
