I'm sure this has been covered before, but I searched and came up short.

All I'm looking for is a little bit of guidance as to doing a spark plg replacement on my XJ. If anyone has a link to a tech article out there, all the better.

Funny you should mention that, because that's what I'm looking at right now.

Just happened upon it. Thanks!

Don't use dilectric grease in the plug boots. Use GB OX-Guard.

He has a 2000. Direct coil-on-rail ignition. No plug boots to worry about.

I used to have a 2000 as well. There are boots on the backside of the rail.

Take from the site mentioned above:

As hard as the durn rail is to pull off, I can't imagine trying it with dielectric grease and the vacuum it would create trying to pull off. The rail is a good idea, just wish it was easier remove.
