[W126 Coupe] stuck spark plugs

[Gary]

well i got the plugs off...just used a breaker bar and just kept tapping (hard) until the plug broke free.  i sprayed some PB solution on the plugs and after taking the plugs off i noticed the solution never made it down to the threads so i don't think the PB solution affected anything.

Gary,

Once you get the plugs out, ALWAYS use an anti-seize compound on the plug threads on installation. No more problems.

 

Good luck,

Mike R.

They plugs may have been over torqued when they were placed in the heads.  Make sure the engine is cold.  Use a 2 foot breaker bar and slap the handle once to see if it breaks the plug free.  Failing that, best check with a pro mechanic to see what they recommend before going any further.


 


Please post how you make out with the plug r&r.
