    what? lol one thing at a time lol.


    started on the back plug on the passenger side, the hardest one to get to holy hell. i got a couple cranks on the plug maybe 1.5- 2 turns and im stuck. I can't get the socket to grab the plug. not sure if i broke it or what. really wish i could see down the damn mile long plug cylinder :rage:

    BL? Gayyy might as well buy a cummins with the mirrors flipped up ... Lol


    Update:

    Left the fugged up plug for last, moved on and got two plugs out in one piece :peace: I ran 4 tanks of techron before this so hopefully it's doing its job. Using my method of 1/4 turn loosen, tighten a little more. Back and forth. They squeaked their way out.

    Soak that back one with PB Blaster while you work on the others.
    I've got to start running some techron now. Plug change coming up in three weeks.

    Oh geez guys this is such a bad time. I hate this so much haha. Ok here we go, still not done but I'm going to eat now so taking a break. Anyways.

    Passenger back came out clean, the next two came out clean. Passenger front broke, successfully extracted.

    Drivers side rear plug, Alott easier to get to, but it broke, had alittle trouble getting it pulled out, I had to press the porcelain out twice and re pull it but it came out.

    3rd back I'm fairly sure I rounded out the spark plug nut, still figuring that out

    2nd back I just broke and I'm going to extract as soon as I get back from twin peaks.

    I am pretty stoked I got 3 out clean haha that's a good number

    It's a 9/16, I thought about hammering a socket on but Adam suggested I leave it in, not mess it up more and have a shop take it out, I really don't wana risk rounding off the bolt completely and then proceeding to breaking it. lol
