Has anyone ever taken out a spark plug out and have the washer be stuck @ the bottom of the hole? I can't get the ****** out! I tried dropping a magnet on a string down the hole, tried to hook it.....no luck. Any ideas?
Help

Thanks

 

try some wd40 or something like that to loosen it and maybe a flathead screwdrive to wiggle it loose, then use the magnet

edit: even try putting the plug back in and see if it comes out with it...oooor take the washer off your new plug and just use the one thats stuck in there if you're in dire need of a car

 

I've been f'n w/ this thing for days. I've tried everything I can think of including those ideas, the plug has been in and out multiple times trying to catch it.

Thanks Altoid (if that is your real name )

Any other thoughts? Experience?

 

Just get a magnetic want from your local parts store, and jar it loose, and then try and pick it up.

This is one of the craizest posts i have ever seen.... for origionality.

 

i say leave it at the bottom , take the washer off your new plug ..and problem solved....basically the same thing Altoid said

 

That's prolly what I will have to do. Maybe use all of the old washers to keep compression even across all cyl., maybe I am paranoid.

 

I would say to take a thin dowl and try to wobble it a bit so it sits vertical then get it out.
