Guys

I tried removing my spark plugs, however those damn things won't budge. Are they suppose to be really really tight? I may have to get a extension for the handle so i can loosen the damn things. I just dont wanna break it. I tried with cold engine and warm engine, but nothing.

Before i use brutal force, what are your experiences? Had similar problem?

Sometimes they are tight, use a breaker bar to crack them, then use normal rachet to remove, if they still are tight then very slowly work the spark plug backwards & forwards as they mite be crossthreaded.

when installing spark plugs put abit grease on the thread. donot over tighten spark plugs!!!!!!

never put grease on the threads
this causes the plugs to seize because the heat turns the grease in to like a hard glue

bad idea

only use wd 40 or crc

So putting grease anywhere is bad? Why are is grease used for everyday lube, if it turns into a hard glue?

I think he's suggesting that grease is not good for very high temp applications. For what it's worth, my dad used to put a tiny amount of engine oil on the thread. Worked fine when I did this in my old '83 sigma.

no i said on spark plug threads

we always use a bees ****'s worth of copper grease on the spark plug threads at work, and have never had a problem. they always come out fine

Yep copper grease is the bomb :D

Alright. I will have to use some force then. Gotta find a metal tube or something to make the handle longer... Thanks guys.
