AndrewE Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi,feel a bit of a numpty but I had assumed the spark plug leads just pull straight up and off the plug but after a few minutes of serious pulling none of them seem to budge Is there a knack or are they stuck or am I missing something obvious?

revilla Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 They do just pull straight off but they can be pretty tight and hard to grip with finger tips. Don't think there's much you can do other than pull a bit harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted April 12, 2017 Area Representative Share Posted April 12, 2017 Very tight fit. You will probably end up prizing off with a couple of screwdrivers or using grips/pliers to pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Try turning the tops as you pull..Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 That is what i feared! the caps seem quite brittle ao I am worried about damaging them - also tried a couple with a driver - will have another go later - more brute forceAssume replacements are relatively common and hopefully cheapish!

john milner Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If mine don't budge by hand I use pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
