Changing Spark plugs

[jrs1874]

I am trying to change my plugs but after I loosen them I can't get them out because they are so far down in the head is there a special tool that I can use to get them out? Also once I get them out what is the best way to install the new ones so I don't cross thread them.

if youre using a spark plug socket, like youre supposed to, it has a rubber washer in there that will pull the plug out. <P>And just be careful upon putting the new ones in there.

..and make sure you put the plugs in the same holes you took them out of

You can use a magnet to pull them out. The expandable ones for picking thing up works great. If not try a screw driver the type with changable bits are normally magnetic and may work.<P>Grim

Thanks I didn't know about the rubber thing until I went to Autozone. Thanks for the Advice.
