Default Installing Spark Plug Seals

So do I just take off the valve cover and pull the old ones off and just plug in the new ones? Easy as that?

Or is there a certain way to install them?

Any other recommendations? Thanks.

Make sure all 4 stick to the valve cover, when putting it back on the head.

So do I have to put anything on it to bond them to the valve cover?

You shouldnt. Just wipe inside where the seal goes after you take out the old ones and set the new ones in.

The easiest way I've found is to remove the old ones with needle nose pliers by twisting (till it curls) and then pull.

When installing the new ones, I use urea grease around the edges, and pound them into place with a rubber mallet.
