I am replacing the plugs on my '06 Impala. How do you replace the rear bank plugs? The firewall is in the way haha! Thanks fellows!

Hi Jason, I have a '08 Saturn Aura with a 3.5L V6 so I think your Impala has the same motor. I found the easiest way to replace the rear plugs was to remove the coil pack. It wasn't as bad as you may think. Just be sure to keep track of which wires go where between the coil pack and the plugs. Also, if you haven't done so already, be careful when gapping these plugs as the electrode is much different than from plugs we've seen in the past. Hope this helps and best of luck.. Chris

They say you can tilt the engine forward and get to the back plugs. But what I had to do was put it up on ramps and get under it and reach up and remove plug wires \then remove plugs. This was on a 07 Saturn relay. Not easy but possible. Good luck.

Hi Jason. I'm a former wrench and use a Thexton 419X GM Engine Moving Tool or similar. put trans in "N" and remove upper motor mounts (ie.. dog bones), mount this tool and pull the engine towards front of car. Or like others, pulling the coil pack sure helps. Depending on the year and car sometimes you'd be shocked at what you can do from the bottom side.. Good luck my friend !!

Why are using the wooden block? I'm sure you know but this plug us about 4 to 6 inches long so maybe this is not the setup for you? What is tha make model and year of vehicle? I would love to help but your question is a bit cloudy..

I found another plug at Walmart(automotive/ lighting/wiring)& took what parts i needed that one to make the original work. If your not comfortable swapping parts,you can splice the wires to the new connector or hard wire it to a fused switch.

sorry Byron. but this will not work. you may be able to find an after market one that will work.

Good idea, always better to hear from everyday user's as opposed to someone that works for the company. There may other amps the knob works for that they might not know of, long shot but it may be true lol. I have a kenwood pushing my 2 12's but I forgot which amp I have cause my cars been in the shop for a while. And I did have to purchase the knob separate though. Probably doesn't help any but I would wait and see what others reply, good luck bro ! Oh and by the way check ebay u might get it cheaper there, I only paid about 25$ for mine !

I too had the 4120B, and these are the current replacement for them. You'll need to change the mounting flange, it's only a two screw mount...only have to loosen the screws a bit, slip the old one off and the new one in place and tighten. The plug will work on the new ones.

The rule of thumb here is...if your gonna change plugs,..do the wires also.Especially if they haven't been changed in awhile...:-)

Your car should have R134 service ports. Not threads. I bought adapters that were also on amazon

Usually there is enough room between the hood and fender for the cable. Then find a hole through the firewall where some other cable, etc. comes through. It will have some sort of rubber plug or boot. Cut a slit in the rubber and feed the cable through. Be sure to secure the cable in as many places as you can with nylon ties. Good luck. TW

The plug you buy on here is the redesign. Its common for Ford to list the old part number, then substitute the revised part upon ordering it. Nothing to worry about.

i didn't have that problem at all !!!the only suggestion i have is to make sure the plugs are pushed all the way in !!!good luck.

I would replace the spark plug to a better quality one like champion or NRG. Mine did the same thing. After swapping out the plug, it never happened again. I guess its just not a high quality plug that's included from the factory. If you have anymore question. Please call Powerland directly. They will be able to help you or send you a new plug.

It was very simple. These cars have one of two possible plugs - for one of them use the included adapter harness, for the other just plug the car's wiring right in. The only reason you would have a problem is if the car's wiring or plug was damaged in some way.

Just hardwired mine today. I bought a Cobra hardwire kit (they are universal), a Bussman BP/HHH fuse tap (both from Amazon) and a 2amp fuse from an auto parts store. Very easy. Hardest part is figuring out how to run the wire throughout your car so that it's out of sight. You may need to look up diagrams and photos of dashboard/panel removals. Not hard. Also, you need to find a fuse in your box that works only with the key in the ignition. Easy enough to test/research. Total cost of hardwiring this myself was less than $25. Quoted a price of $75 from a car audio place.

I did and I don't usually work on car stuff.You can probably find instructions on youtube for how to change spark plugs and that should walk you through it.

Hi. I am not sure, however, I used some forums by typing my car into it then used a search engine asking the question as you do? I notice a better performance since replacing them. My mechanic liked not having to gap the plugs. Even better I saved Labor cost as a result. I recommend them. I hope this helps. /Satisfied Al W/

I had the same problem and ordered them anyway...Turned on to be the wrong kind - however you can unscrew the floor plugs and replace with the kind that match the new mats. Plugs are around $5.98 a pair if I remember if you shop around.
