How to Remove the Spark Plugs on a 2002 Chevy Malibu

The spark plugs on your 2002 Chevy Malibus 3.1-liter engine thread into the cylinder heads just below the valve covers. There are three spark plugs on each cylinder head. If you are replacing the spark plugs, be sure to only remove one at a time and replace it with a new one before moving to the next plug.

Instructions

1

Open the hood of your Malibu and locate the negative battery cable on the battery terminal. Loosen the clamp bolt on the cable end with a wrench, then remove the cable from the battery. Set it aside.

2

Locate the spark plugs on the right and left side of the engine. Select one of the spark plug wires and grasp the boot at the spark plug. Twist it slightly and pull it off the spark plug. Lay the wire aside.

3

Install a spark plug socket over the spark plug, attach a ratchet to the socket, then rotate the socket and plug counterclockwise. Lift the socket and spark plug out of the cylinder head. Repeat the process for all six spark plugs.
