[W126 Coupe] stuck spark plugs

[Mike R.]

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.

Gary:

 

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.

 

Dick
