focus rusted/seized spark plugs

[cactikid]

have a focus coming in with red rusted plugs,yes core plugs gone also,wonder what you guys use on very seized and ready to snap off plugs. cheers.

Simple just spray some plus gas direct to the plug thread had few over the years.

Just go for it. I have had loads that feel like they are going to snap and only broken 2 or 3 of them. On the 1s that break, its normally because they have been overtightened and streched the threads.

I have a square extractor tool which I hit into the remaining part of the plug to remove it.

It looks a bit like these but mine has a slight twist near the tip.

Air wrench set on low, ub 40,a little prayer and thread repair kit on the workbench if something goes wrong....
Spark plugs are a walk in the park compared to glow plugs...




And do inform the customer that worst case scenario is a head rebuild.......

[cactikid]

yes first thing we did was mention possibility of getting his head done,forgot rocker cover has to come off to do the core plugs makes it easier to see whats going on after air line blows out all the crap first.
