You should try to put plugs in a 03 Nissan Frontier.

I'll carry the scars to my grave.

Hint hint...

they make a special tool that comes with your tire tool kit that actually will help put the plugs in your frontier.  I changed the plugs in my 99 frontier - all but #6 - then found the tool they referenced in the owner's manual.  This will make your job much easier.

I also use the tool Honda provided to help put the plugs in my 550.


Owners manual?? [slaps forehead] Never dawned on me to look.

#6 was a little bi***. Used two swivels, a mirror and a magnet (to find lost wrenches).

Yep, my first try, I left the #6 right where it sat & just put up with a miss. I had those extensions & magnet & mirror just for #5, so I gave up on #6.  Even though I had the manual, I didn't know where this specialty tool was that they (the manual) referenced.  (They never said to look in your tool kit.)  duh

....AND I CERTAINLY WAS NOT GOING TO BUY THE SPECIALTY TOOL FROM NISSAN.  I figure that would run an easy $100 or so...  Anything with a Nissan stamp on it seems to!

So, from here on out, I am using the specialty tool provided in the tool pouch with the jack.  You should too!  ;)
