i recently picked up a 91 sedan to add to my collection,i went to change the plugs ,vc gasket and spark plug seals and encountered 3 seized plugs does any one have any good tricks to remove them thanks in advance

 

take your rachet put it on like you would to the spark plug to take it off set it to loose and hold the head of the rachet and use your other hand and give it a nice impact. or use your electric 3/8 makita impact gun which is one of the best tools i ever bought. or go to the gym pump up the guns and try again in a few months

lol.

 

And when you finally get them out remember to use anti seize on the new plugs so this doesnt happen again

 

impact gun..

 

Haha, i was about to post this same thread this morning...

I think mines cross threaded though... or a peice of the sparkplug broke off and is jammed in the threads now... i pulled on it for an hour, and then my roommate tried for 20 minutes... neither of us are weak (I saw this guy tear through the steel of a rear crossmember trying to get rusted a-arm bolts off) but that thing is jammed. And then of course our impact gun sockets wouldnt fit down the sparkplug holes

So tomorrow its off to canadian tire to get some penetrating oil and a socket that will fit on the breaker bar AND down the hole. Probably get some anti-seize too, but im hoping i dont have to go back to get a helicoil kit. Probably just speed up plans on my engine swap if that happens.

 

thanks everyone i got them out last night,pb blaster,1/2 drive and patience they came out just fine,and of course used anti-seize unlike the prior owner thanks again
