Removing Rusted Sparkplugs
Folks - I'd like to remove my plugs and see how they look. Externally,
they look like they may be rusted in place - don't know for sure, havn't tried to undo one. Any suggestions on how to approach the possibility they may be rusted in place? Lots of penetrating oil? - Mike |

"Mouse Milk" is the best penetrating and rust loosening oil I've ever used.

You're all wrong. "Kroil" is the best....IMO. Available only
directly from the factory. "It works!!" Ken J. Unstuck in Sandy Eggowe Jerry Wass wrote in message ... Diet Coke has the phosphoric acid also, without all the sugary sticky residue. Fitwuzme, I'd heat the head up to 'bout 300* F and then spray w/WD-40, or whatever you have.---Also work on it a little with a 3/8" impact wrench--not too hard--go back & forth a few times,--It may not come loose then, but you will have caught it's attention. Repeate these procedures 2 or 3 times a day--I'd save the Coke as a last resort. wrote: In article , Michael Horowitz says... Folks - I'd like to remove my plugs and see how they look.
