No, I knew that about anti-seize. I'd like to smack the last person that changed the wires upside the head for buying such cheap crap! I took the wires off in four pieces, and had to dig for an hour to get the rubber boot off the plug. What a pain in the ass.

I have a torque wrench, how much torque do I need for plugs? I usually just tighten them down.

i dont know how much you should tighten em down but if you dont and one happens to blow out remember where you are when it happens (happend to me last week) (old subarus suck, V4) keep some extras and a socket with you

aaaaaargh...I stripped out the damn screw holding in the rotor. Why the hell does Honda screw everything down!?!? And they got that stupid guard so I can't get in there with anything. Anybody got any ideas? Besides bring the thing to a garage?
