OK, the adapter of my compression tester is stuck in my cylinder head. So I put super glue on the piece with the hose and screwed it on and let it dry. I figured that when i turned that, it would all come out. But now both pieces are stuck together. What do I DO !? I am so pissed right now. I have some wd40 soaking on it right now because its too late to go out and buy that PB Blaster stuff. Guys help me out.

 

Try some 12" needle nose pliers.

 

and what am i gonna do with those? Theres a hose coming out of the hole

 

They make ones that are made for removing hoses you can get them in a variety of size's

 

Something similar to these

Use the 12" pliers to get a hold of the metal part of the hose adapter that's in the spark plug hole. The WD-40 is going to help you get it loose. Your going to need to use some elbow grease, but you'll get it loose.

No one said working on cars is easy.

Same thing happened to a group of us HT'ers when doing compression tests. I was going to say use super glue, but I see you've done that. So, you just can't turn the hose to break the tester loose? I'm not sure if I understand what you did.

Subscribing anyhow / good luck

 

I am turning the hose, but the hose isnt turning the piece down in the motor. I dont see how needle noce pliers would do the trick

 

The problem that you are getting right now w/ the hose not twisting off the metal part is that there is too much torque lost from the hose compared to how tight the metal piece/adapter is on.

Basically, the other guys suggested needle nose pliers because you can use it to effectively clamp the part down and twist it off. It won't be that easy, but given the situation, there seems to be little else. Unless you can get a wrench/breaker bar combo going on to clamp that piece down, the needle nose pliers are probably your best bet.

You may have to cut most of the hose off now, since it's not working anyway, to give yourself some room to work with. Showing everyone a picture of what it currently looks like from different angles will give everyone a better idea of how to get that sucker loose.

Next time use some anti-seize.

 

my mechanic did it for me... all he charged me was some of my mom's cookies
