I removed all of my spark plugs except one, it is REAL tight. I even put a 1/2" drive rachet on there, but I am affraid to break/strip the plug. What should I do, spray some WD-40 around the plug (will that harm anything??), also is it better to try an remove the plug when the engine is cold or hot??
I installed new plugs about 20,000 miles (1 year ago) right after we bought the X b/c it was running bad. I couldn't get a one of the plugs out then, THE SAME CYLINDER, so we took it back to the used car dealer and they got it out, in 4-5 pieces. So it was them who must've overtightend this plug b/c I installed the other 7 and they came out no problem. We have no warranty or anything, we've had the X over a 1.5 years, so I guess it is up to me to try and get this plug out. Any suggestions??
