in the process of changin spark plugs over today (engine was cold) changed 1st 2 no probs but cannot for the life of me get the 3rd n 4th undone (crossover pipe aint helpin) but why would they be sooooo fukin tight in the 1st place ??

anything i can try as i dont wanna go to heavy handed n get the old plugs snapped n stuck in there

 

try run the engine to heat them up and romove the cross over pipe

 

Short of trying hard with a longer ratchet handle or t-bar, which is likely to break things, I'd throw some WD40 or something like that down the hole, and leave it to soak in for 24 hours or so, keep topping up.
Hopefully it will get through whatever is holding the plug in place

Not sure if warming the engine up would help or hinder though

 

tried with the engine warm b4 n could budge any of em , think the heat caused them to expand!!

think ill get some gt85 (wd40) on em see if that helps ,

will let u know how it goes!!

 

Take your time with it and let it soak in for several hours, add some from time to time, but really give it some time to work. Most of the time, we try too soon and the fluid hasn't had a chance to work properly.

It certainly helped with the crankshaft pulley on my cossie.

 

WD40 overnight wll release them.

you sure you turning the ratchet the rigth way

 

lol, dan give me a little credit !! haha, i know ur used to dealin with tight plugs more than me but think i know wot way to turn a nut pmsl

 

Just in case.........
