rounding off spark plug nut

[johnny_08]

i havent done this yet, but i was trying to get #2 out and it just wouldn't move (with this flimsy T bar thing i have)and im just wondering what i would do if i did happen to round it off? or am i uckfayed? (thats right im bringin that crappy pig latin back )

[Gilly]

dear god

i shudder at the thought

proper plug socket and ratchet please, at most slip a 19mm ring spanner on the ratchet so you have extra leverage

or buy that plug socket in 1/2 inch and use a breaker bar

i shuddered again...

Sweet jesus. That'd suck arse if you did.

Just make sure you have the correct socket and some good leverage to crack it if it's really stubborn.

[johnny_08]

ahh so i betta leave it for the tuner tomorow then, with his proper tools and all

[Konakid]

I'd be hunting down who ever the fuck did them up so tight!

They only need to be nipped back in.

spray some CRC down there and leave it for a while, then use proper tools

if you cant get it out, leave it for them

then do what kona said.......

some useless fuck stripped the thread on my no5 cyl plug, noticd it when i changed the plugs before i dropped the motor in. ill wait until its a real problem, then ill just get the thread dodcter dude out and see if he can get it out and retap it without ripping the head off

[slide86]

ive seen captain thread do it at my work

he rotates the engine so the cylinder in question is on exhaust stroke then puts a vacumn cleaner on the exhaust pipe and procedes to tap the new hole

the theory is that the swarf will be sucked out through the exhaust valve.......sounds good, but i dont think its THAT effective

lol youve got your pig latin wron it should uckedfay not uckfayed lol

[johnny_08]

damnit /\ well i got the plug out using a normal socket wrench, still pretty fckn hard to get out tho, lucky i put it back in tho
