changing plugs a wires

[FullAstern]

I have 1 2003 P32 and I'm going to be changing my plugs, wires and fuel filter. Please tell me if I need to do or change any of the following.

Are there any specific tools that would?
Spark plug boot removal tool? Or is there one to make removing the heat shields easier?

1) Taylor Extreme 99615 wires
2) AC 41-932 plugs
3) Set gap at .045
4) NAPA FIL-3481
5) FIL-6316

Anything I'm forgetting?

No tools required for the plug heat shields. I pulled mine off very easily by hand. Just pull the old wires off, pull shields off old wires, use proper size spark plug socket wrench, gap new plugs with gap gauge, install plugs push new wires with old heat shields back on. Takes about 1/2 hour to do.

I used rubber grip gloves made it easy to pull and grip wires and shields.

Unless you have sausages for fingers, my hand is too big for that so I had to use a puller it only cost like 3 bucks.

The shields will come off with the boots. Use the dielectric grease between the plug and the wire connection. Look for black shields they should be an orange color. If they are black you could be seeing an overheat condition. When you restore the plug wires make sure they are firmly attached.

Is # 5, "FIL-6316" the fuel filter and if so what brand is that?

Can you change the plugs and wires thru the wheel wells or do you need to go thru the doghouse?

Are these the plug wires that so many people here are using? $150 seems pretty expensive but it says they have their own heat shield pre installed. And mentions , high heat resistance.

Yeah...we heard about your "help" in removing your plugs....

Remember...not many of these people are as old and feeble as you are....

Dear Yosemite, I watched 2 sausage heads change the wires in Tenn. I'm sure with your sausage fingers you'll do just fine

Yo Sausage Head..........

Look who's talking Potato Brain (mashed at that) if it wasn't for this Sausage Head you would probably still be in Tenn changing plugs on your Trek.

As for the other Sausage Head he really only did about 4 maybe 5 plugs.

Now in my defense I did install all 8 plugs after Dale set them up.

Concluding; regarding plumber's butts - I beat him silly!

For Max49 - Yes a lot of us go from on top through the doghouse opening. Others go through the sides but most often the left side (driver's) can be challenging IF the coach builder built a short plumbing/electrical sidewall.

I changed mine in wheel well after turning wheel out plenty of room behind my wheels yours maybe tighter, try it and see.

Sausage Heads and mash potato brains.
