Lefty loosy, right tighty.

Did you tighten them too much when you installed them?

 

try looking here https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch

 

alrdy try searching.... nothing came up
unless imissed it

the person that own the car before i bought let some services shop changed it

 

why not spray in a little liquid wrench...

try constant pressure on whichever tool your using <--- always works for me on ANY bolt. it might be a bitch but you'll be suprised how one minute of pulling on a wrench breaks a bolt loose faster than yanking on that same wrench for a couple seconds.

 

Be sure to use antisieze when you re-install them.

 

someone told me to use a torque wrench will that be safe?

 

sorry i wasnt clear enough


use a torque wrench to remove the plugs

i still cant get it out with a ratchet

 

i torque wrench or a jesus-bar <----they both create more "torque" than you can on the sp...

its a longer wrench than what your using...a 2' bar over your simple ratchet wrench is the same thing. seriously though...try the constant pressure over a longer period of time. it works

 

i did for 40sec wouldnt budge a bit

going to warm up the engine and try it

 

Warming up will only expand the metal.. Get a can of PB Blaster (**** works) and let it soak in the spark plug threads.

 

do you have any metal bars that your ratchet wrench will fit in? something like a jack bar from your floor jack? ****..i've used a vacumm tube from my dust devil. the wonders of plastic huh..

slide the bar over the wrench and start apply *** much pressure as u can.

 

after warming up the motor it came out easily

 

wtf?!?! thats wierd...

cool though

 

PB Blaster kicks ***
