removing spark plugs
 
i was going to change all 8 cops and plugs today, so far today i changed 1,2,5,6,8 cops today gonna do 3 and 4 tommorow,

Did you remove the fuel rail? If not are you talking about the pressure regulator?

king ranch 11-07-2008 07:46 PM

yea that might be it the pressure regulator its a lil round cylinder looking thing silver look to it about the size of a half dollar, and no i didnt remove the fuel rail didnt have to in order to do the other ones

That's the fuel pressure regulator. I always remove the fuel rail to have more room.

yea i was worried about screwing something up removing that so i left it and worked around it and did all the cops with no problem except number 7 looked to hard

so how can i break the plugs loose i cant seem to get the plugs out

Use a good penetrating oil like Deep Creep and let it soak in a few minutes.

it doesnt matter about putting fluids down around the plug and the engine

Just spray a good shot, don't fill the hole up.

A flexable 1/4" drive extension and universal is what I used. Did not have to remove the fuel rails.
