Removing Spark Plug #4

Post by bairohio »

Is there a trick to removing Sparkplug #4? Angle and position are posing quite a challenge.

I just did this yesterday..

On top of the spark plug socket place a swivel adapter to which you connect your ratchet. This gives you the clearance you need, crack the plug loose and then slowly work it out

I use a piece of rubber tubing to help start the plug and screw it back in. It helps me, YMMV.

Thank you for the tips.

When I finally figured it out how to access the plug. I realized #4 was not even tightened. Was able to loosen by hand. New plug in tight, car is humming :)

Just did mine today, found the swivel connector directly connected to the sparkplug socket worked great!
