Shock squeeking

Thanks. Must be a DMV error. Has anyone taken a look at my post concerning tune ups? Wondering how far I should go with the "tuning" it up and it also sounds like the plugs can be tricky to reach. We were going to do this at home. Would I be better off going to a mechanic to do it?

Plugs are EASY on our engine. Don't worry, just take your time and you won't have any problems.

I changed out NGK plugs for Pulstar plugs a few weeks ago. Feels like I took 50K miles off the engine.

I did my spark plugs myself.....so ANYBODY can do it!
It does take some muscle though, I had to have hubby loosen 5 of the 6.
The passenger side, back plug is the hardest one to access.
There's a How-To in maybe just a post that describes how to do it.
As a newbie who'd never done this, ONE TIP I definitely followed was to tape the sparkplug puller to the socket so it didn't come off in the well

And use a good length of rubber tubing that fits snugly of the spark plug end to lower it into the well and get it started.

I did this when I tuned mine and it was a great way to ensure the gap stayed in place and plugs started off smoothly.
