![]() Any experience or thoughts would be appreciated. Old motorcycle tricks are to degrease & dry the plug and wrench with gasoline & air. Use a brand new black oxide (not cad or zinc plated) hex key, and heat the block locally with a heat gun to ~200 degrees. You might also sand blast the hex key to get even better grip. I don't think an impact driver would help. You definitely want to avoid dinging the hex - and that would be easiest with a manual wrench. Does the plug stick out enough that you can also grab the outside diameter with a visegrip to get still more torque? You are right in your thoughts in that you have only one chance before these things get really ugly. Good luck. |
