[Zekester]

Has anyone ever tried epoxy-ing a socket to the plug?

 

[Mbrooks420]

I suppose you could. Would be a real pain in ass to get the plug back out. Have another that’s rounded off?

 

[Zekester]

ya, I have to get it out because its still throwing the engine light. Motor is running great though

 

[Mbrooks420]

Is it already stripped? Have you tried a different brand socket?

 

[Zekester]

No, its not stripped yet but it's so rusted like the last one im just assuming its going to be the same deal.

Thats why I was wondering if i should try to epoxy this one before hand

 

[RandomNerd2000]

I could give how I got mine out, but be warned it's not a proper fix but beats pulling the head in what was to me a worn 258K mile at the time motor. I'm not liable if it doesn't work.

I just went to Lowes, got a set of bolt grips that had a 5/8 in there, broke the top of the plug off down flush with the hex (vice grips are your friend here) and took the bolt grip, extension, and ratchet and brought it out.

 

[Zekester]

i'll be buying that set today

 

[donalds]

They forgot to send you one?

I'll tell you a secret...ASE Certs can also be found inside every box of....
