If it's really stuck it's probably faster to pull the prop and ring gear than to mess things up trying to work around it. Flying long enough to get the case fully warmed up may help too. Not NeverSeize but pipedope, but I tend to agree. Another trick that comes to mind is a large American Beauty soldering iron applied to the plug, getting it hot enough to disrupt the pipe dope. (The iron will not melt the case so that's no worry.) You are better off heating the crankcase area with a heat gun and turning the plug with the Allen wrench. Heating the plug will just expand the plug into the case, whereas heating the case will expand the aluminum away from the plug. |
