What to do when the spark plugs won\'t come out?

[Jim_rx7]

My car is flooded, so I was going to remove the plugs.

I went to remove the easiest for access one first, but the thing is stuck tight!!

Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can get it out when it\'s stuck like that? It doesn\'t help that there\'s not much room for leverage etc.


I want my car back on the road....

try leaving the car for a bit then go back see if it`l start try to warm engine to get plugs out
if not then try getting a breaker bar onto plug socket and try that
if not im sure i could come down for a small fee fix ot for ya

I\'ve got a mate coming round tomorrow night to give me a hand. If we don\'t get anywhere, I\'ll give you a shout mate!

as craig said dont shout at me shout at the car
swearing and tyre kicking helps

I\'ve done alot of swearing under the car recently. Got a few cuts and scrapes!

Someone looking at me would be able to tell when I hurt myself as I started to kick the ground and swear! lol

Got them out. Used my ratchet with the trolley jack lever stuck on the end of it. A makeshift breaker bar. It worked a treat!!
