polecat Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Started doing my service today so thought I would start of with the easy bit, A Spark plug change !Got two out went to the other side and the far plug socket had a stone stuck in the recess where the plug goesm wedged solid so I couldn't get the blooming socket on it Took me 40 minutes to get the stone out then it came out easy I noticed in the Haynes manual it mentions using compressed air to blow out loose stones from the plug recess but I never imagined how much gravel there was in there !

pointblank0 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Ha ha. The same thing happened to me once. There was lots of shouting and swearing going in in the garage that day! Quote
Guest Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 So how much gravel fell into the cylinder when you took the socket out? Quote

Hopefully None !I blew compressed air before fully taking out the plugs then put greese on my finger and tried to "pick up" as much as possible.Plugs were really rusty too !! Quote
