Spark Plugs
My friend was trying to change my sparkplugs, and they are screwed on very very tight. My friend was a pretty big guy, had the right tools, and he couldn't get it to unscrew. Any ideas?
did you fix it? was the engine Cold Or warm? it would make a difference, you can try sparying some thing oil in there and letting it sit, be carefull you bring the helocoils with you (not sure if your car has, but i think all honda's have) remember spark plugs only need 13 lbs of torque, not more, not less.

^^^^^ yes to that :D
Also, put some anti-seize on the threads of the plugs when putting new ones in, and use a piece of fuel hose over the spark plug to get it started. You don't want to strip the threads on the spark plug holes by mistake.

try when the engine is still warm and use a long handle ratchet... be careful and do it slowly as to not faulcking something up.
antiseize and a torque wrench ownz you.
16 ft lbs is enough when tightening... tell gorilla boy to chill on the cranking that **** down.
