V6 Removing Spark Plugs

Post by chooyuhudson » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:40 pm

Please excuse my ignorance, however to remove spark plugs I assume I turn them anti-clockwise looking down into the engine? :oops: :oops:
Kind regards David

Thanks for that Ady. If they are quite stiff and wont move, should I spray WD40 in to loosen them, or could that do some harm? Cheers

it should do no harm,just dont overdo things.
when replacing check the torque settings for refitting, (ally head and all that.) always take care when its ally to steel,steel usually wins.
