The other day when i was checking my plugs, i noticed i couldnt remove one at all. the wrench was turning though so i was confused. Got a flash light and looked down there to see that the hex part of the plug is missing.. it was there last time... so i guess i somehow pulled it off and never realized it... odd to say the least. But now i have a plug in my head that is tightened down but i cant think of anyway to remove it short of pulling the head.

Any suggestions are welcome... all i could think of other than pulling the head was maybe if i removed the valve cover i could MAYBE squeeze some needle nosed pliers down thar. But i dont want to F up the end of the plug unless i know i will be able to get it out to replace it.

 

If taking the valve cover off doesn't give you enough room. You could try removing the rocker assembly. this will remove the upper spark plug tube. You could replace the lower o-rings while you have the rocker assy out.... at least it's easier than having to remove the head.

 

Thanks for the reply. Didnt really occur to me that there was more i could take out to shorten the reach to the plugs ha. And iv been meaning to replace those rings (oil in tube hole for awhile ) .

thanks again. might try and take a whack at it when school stops taking a **** on my free time
