    Folks, need help.
    Engine is Multicab 660cc 3cyl. Ayaw matanggal yung gitnang spark plug. Yung 2 madali lang natanggal, pero yung isa talagang ayaw. Pag pinihit, iikot ng mga 1ikot tapos matigas na. Hindi ko pinilit at baka lalong lumaki damage.
    Ano ba puedeng gawin muna for the meantime? Puede ba ibabad sa WD40 yung spark plug well?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried using a long nose pliers? Baka loose thread na ang spark plug kasi. IMO do not use WD40 or any fluid to remove the stuck spark plug.

    Malalim ang lagayan ng spark plugs. Kung long nose, dulo lang abot, hindi rin mapipihit. Kung hindi puede WD40, ano pa puede gawin para matanggal other than removing the cylinder head and bringing it to the machine shop
    Thanks.

    Thanks Bro, kaso malalim yung spark plug well. Parang sa cylinder head ng mga naka DOHC na galant na nakabaon ang spark plug sa malalim na butas. Kung long nose o vise grip, yung dulo na lang ang makakagat, baka mabali lang ang ceramic casing pag pinihit. Ginamitan ko ng stanley extended socket, 1turn lang at matigas na hindi na maikot.

    Bro, talked to our trusty mechanic who handles multicabs, pwede raw very small amount of wd40, have it soak your spark plug overnight, then try to remove the spark plug. He has done this before.

    do not use vise grips or long nose pliers in removing your plugs or any bolts/nuts. use the right tool for th job.
    Sometimes the sparkplugs got some corrosion built up at the end of the thread, the one protruding into the cylinder. You may try to remove it by alternately loosening it a bit then tighten it, and continue alternating between cw and ccw turn.
    when you install a new plug do not overtighten it. To install it, hand tight first the plug and when you feel that the plug has bottomed, tighten it using the wrench handle an additional 1/4 turn.

    Makahiram nga ng vacuum hehehe
    1 year na nung nilagay current spark plugs, umaandar pa at wala namang problema. Gusto ko sanang i-check kaso ito na nga ayaw matanggal. Spark plug wrench din gamit ko pero hindi ko pinupuwersa at baka lalong magka problema.
