If you’re planning to change the spark plugs in your 2007 Jeep Liberty, here are the steps you can follow:
- Make sure the engine is cool before starting.

- Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil rail by pressing the tab and pulling it off.
- Remove the ignition coil rail by unscrewing the bolts or screws that hold it in place.
- Using the correct spark plug socket size (5/8 inch or 16mm), attach it to a ratchet or extension and carefully loosen the spark plug by turning it counterclockwise.
- Once the spark plug is loose, remove it by hand and inspect it for any signs of damage or wear.
- Before installing the new spark plug, make sure it is the correct type and gap according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plug to prevent it from seizing in the future.
- Insert the new spark plug into the spark plug socket and carefully thread it into the spark plug hole by hand. Make sure not to cross-thread it.
- Tighten the spark plug using the spark plug socket and ratchet or extension. Be careful not to overtighten it, as this can damage the spark plug or the engine.
- Repeat the process for the remaining spark plugs.
- Once all the spark plugs are installed, reattach the ignition coil rail and secure it with the bolts or screws.
- Reconnect the electrical connector to the ignition coil rail.
