Change "front" spark plugs on 2002 Rendezvous
 
I've found plenty of how to info on the rear spark plugs, but nothing for how to do the front 3. What tools will I need and what will I need to remove to access all 3 of the front spark plugs? It's a 2002 Rendezvous with the 3.4 motor. Thanks

Change front spark plugs.
 
I changed mine the other day with just a short extention and a 5/8 plug socket. I started at the left and worked my way to the right. The only difficult one was the one on the far right it was difficult to get out and difficult to put back in. Someone cross threaded it so I need to get a thread chaser for the plug hole

Here is a little tip that some may already know,
If you can manage to get a piece (12 inches) 3/8 rubber hose, Just about all auto parts places sell it, place the plug you are installing top tip into the hose and now you can much easier rotate the plug by hand and get it started. If it won't turn take it out and try again. That will prevent anyone from cross threading a plug on installation. Saves a lot of cut fingers and hands too!.'

Thatiis what i used. The person before me cross threaded it.

Make you wonder, the person installing that cross threaded plug must have used a breaker bar because the plug offers a lot of resistance going down when started wrong.
