What happens here

Locate the two spark plugs on the generator engine. One spark plug is typically at the front of the engine, and the other is usually at the back, requiring slightly more reach. To remove the old spark plugs, you will need a 5/8-inch deep socket, as a shallow socket may not be long enough to properly engage the plug. Attach the deep socket to a ratchet or appropriate wrench and carefully loosen and remove each spark plug. Install the new spark plugs by threading them in by hand to avoid cross-threading, then gently tighten them with the deep socket and ratchet/wrench. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the threads or spark plug.

Goal: Remove old spark plugs and install new ones.

This is not a 5/8, but >> you need something deep like this. >> Okay. >> If you got something like this, something a little more shallow, you're not going to reach. You got to get the whole thing in there. So, get a 5/8 deep socket here. >> So, how many spark plugs are there? >> Two. Got one here and the other one is right in the back. >> Okay. In the back over here. >> Yeah. If you got your deep socket, you'll be able to squeeze in there. You don't worry about getting a ball hitch or anything like that >> or a ball socket. >> Yep. Guys, so for the spark plugs, one's in the back over here and there's one in the front over here. And that's how you that's how you change the spark plug. You just push it in and out.
