spark plugs

[daveg1]

I was just messing around the other day after doing my tappets, and thought i would put new spark plugs in. The only problem being is they wouldnt come loose. I didnt want to try to hard as i thought i might damage something. I work next to a halfords and they said i would need a garage to do it, Any tips????

m8 im sure you could do it yourself. i'm doin mine l8r hopefull cuz my vts is runnin like a sack of shit at the moment. as long as you were turning them in the right direction and had the right tools you should be ok. how much did you pay for your plugs cuz im buyin some l8r?

Make sure you keep the socket straight as you don't want to smash the ceramics. Also if it won't come free try tightening it a little bit then that should help free it off and it will undo!

Getting the car really warmed up helps a lot as everything expands.
