spark plugs

[BubbaRATM]

followed the procedures and 7 of the 8 came out fine and dandy then lucky number 8 stuck and the nut and threaded peices came off and left the plug in the head so now im searching for a damn tool to get it out and the local stealership has no clue where i can get one at other than a mac tools guy that comes around like every other week LOL. -1 ford on a shitty design for a spark plug. Anyone else have any ideas???

did you read the service bulletin on this issue?

 

[Boozshey]

Lisle 65600 is what you need. Don't worry, I broke all 8!!!

man LOL i needed that laugh, not that you breaking them is funnny but the way you said that makes it funn. just the nut and threads came out and didnt hurt the threads just left the porcelin and shank in there but i am searching local for a tool to retrieve it and then spray the hell out of the car for this minor frustration.

 

[Boozshey]

You probably won't find it local. It's a specialty tool...

Good grief what a mess! Glad mine has the traditional spark plug.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah +1 on the traditional spark plugs, those 05-07 spark plugs look like shit.

 

[BubbaRATM]

mine didnt look anything like yours did in the pics mine just had the nut and threads peice of metal come off and leave the rest of the plug in the head LOL i found one local and the guy wouldn't let me borrow it and then tried to tell me he has over $1,100 in the tool kit, then i told him i only needed it on 1 plug and he then told me he had to drill and re thread the hole and i said no again.Then he told me he would charge me $200 to remove the one plug and i said i can buy the tool to do it myself for $85 and do it myself. so i called my uncle in florida that is a ford mechanic and he told me the best way that he has found to do these plugs and the 5.4 plugs is to drive the vehicle until it gets hot and then just bust ass and take them out with it hot and he has only used his removal tool 1 time since he bought it. He got the tool from matco about 3 yrs ago.

Just have Boozshey do it, he loves doing that shit.

 

[BubbaRATM]

im in louisiana LOL im just going to pay the guy $35 bucks to do it. i got him to agree on that. I will buy the tool anyway for future problems or just to do it for someone else and make a little change to play with.

It would take me 90 seconds flat!

Be sure to get a small hose and vacuum out the cylinder head. I had shit bbreak and fall in to them.

 

[BubbaRATM]

i put the coil back on it and then put the 7 HT0's in and buttoned it all back up and strated it and revved it up a few time to try and blow it out but that failed, i had to try some redneck shit lol

ehhh....I guess. Might want to be careful though.

 

[BubbaRATM]

im going to spray the 100 shot to it in the morning and see if it comes out LOL, im just kidding that would be crazy but for real im just going to drive it to the guys shop and have him pull it out and put the new plug in and then im going to spray it for the first time.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Sweet, let us know how you like the spray.

 

[BubbaRATM]

i am going to predict i will like the added power but wish it were there all the time and not $50 a bottle LOL

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah thats way you need to save up and add a blower.
