I immediately found your post, read it and tried it again. I can only turn the plug a few turns before it gets hard to turn unless using a socket. I checked the threads on the original plug as well as the new plug after removal and the threads look clean so I seriously doubt any kind of striping of the threads. Can I use some WD-40 on the threads? Thanks! Chandler |
Re: Change the sparkplug
Yes,you can use some WD-40 on the threads.Did the old plug come out easily? If so there may be some carbon on the threads.

Re: Change the sparkplug
The head threads will strip or cross thread before the plug.
WD 40, oil, or anti seize will work. |
Re: Change the sparkplug
Thanks for the replies! I used WD-40 and it did thread a bit easier.... Tightened it w/ the socket and good to go...
Unfortunately my starting problem is more battery related that plug but the plug was due for a change anyway.... Thanks again for the great resource! Chandler |
Re: Change the sparkplug
I thought the spark plug wrench was 18mm. This post says 17mm. Can anyone straighten me out on this?

Re: Change the sparkplug
Great tip ! Me personally STRONGLY advise using a dab of antisieze on the plug threads. My personal rule of thumb "almost" any bolt that comes out and I observe the imfamous "white powder" on the threads gets antisiezed. The only bolts I don't antisieze are sprocket bolts and brake caliper bolts, those get Loctited ! :2tup:
