spark plug removal?
hi i was wondering how do i remove my spark plugs and in what direction to unscrew im guessing counter clockwise? just ive tried but seems like even the hulk wouldnt be able to remove them coz they are very tight whats best way feels like may have a little rust there as its been 2 yrs since i last checked them cheers btw i got a spark socket set with a T handle and i cant exactly hit it with an hammer

anti-clockwise mate.
try a little squirt of wd40 and try again 10 minutes later.
failing that, use a extension for more leverage.

wd40 frees up seized parts, i reckon you should try some.
shops sell it.
only need a tiny squirt.
