Car Fix DIY Videos

Welcome to the Channel! In today’s episode I replace spark plugs on a 2010 Saab 9-5 Aero. In cars with the 2.8 V6 you have to remove the intake to replace the spark plugs. This isn’t a difficult task, but it does add a few extra things to the mix to do. Removing the intake actually makes it easier to do than the plugs in a 9-3 with the 2.8 V6.

Tightening Torques:
Intake: 23 NM or 17 ft-lb

Tools Needed:
7MM Socket (or nut driver)
10MM Socket
10MM Ratcheting Wrench (not necessary, but makes it easier)
13MM Socket
Spark Plug Socket
Spark Plug Gapping Tools
Torque Wrench (I used my 3/8″ Torque Wrench since it has lower torques)
Small Flat Blade Screw Driver
