Any trick to getting plugs out?

[coachhomer]

I started to install new plugs and got to the first one and can't get it loose. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Probably wouldn't hurt to spray some brake cleaner or penetrating oil on the plug...

Shouldn't take a cheater pipe or anything but they are pretty tight. Apply more torque. Consider going back with the recommended Nickel-based antisieze. Good luck!

Penetrating oil is ok to use? I thought that might get in to the engine and be a bad thing?

Did you warm the engine up before trying?

 

[coachhomer]

Yes. I got 4 of them out so far. Has taken me about 2 hours. What are you guys tying the new plug wires to? I can’t find the little clip that ford uses that the originals were zip tied to.

Thanks!

Trick is , increase your cuss word vocabulary. Worst one was passenger side first plug behind shock tower the one you cant see . That was almost 2 hours alone.
