tight plugs

[PaulD]

I have an '88 CRX Si and the sparks plugs are in there like a mother, I am afraid I am going to break them trying to get them out. Is there something I can use that will loosen them up ?

Try crossing your fingers when you loosen them up.
Do they look rusty? It wouldn't hurt spraying some penetrating oil on them.

Spray some PB Blaster on them. Be sure you have a nice solid spark plug socket and slip a breaker bar on the ratchet. A few taps with a mallet on the breaker bar should do the trick. GL

I am afraid of breaking them or stripping the threads in the cylinder head. I will try some penetrating oil.

I managed to get 3 out with that PB stuff, On the other one - The socket won't go down far enough and I can't see what it's hitting.
