OTC 6918 Spark Plug Remover Kit, Black

Muy buen producto

I purchased both the Lisle tool and the OTC 6918 Spark Plug Remover Kit to change the plugs in a 2006 Expedition. The OTC tool worked on a couple of the frozen plugs but the Lisle tool was also needed on a couple. Depends on where the plug breaks apart when you are trying to remove it as to which tool work best. They both served their purpose for their respective application. Best thing you can do is to not break any of them and you won't need the tool. I found a YouTube video that recommended spraying down with penetrating oil, letting it sit 30 minutes, and then hitting it with an impact wrench and a spark plug socket. I thought the guy was nuts but after breaking all four plugs on the right bank with a conventional spark plug socket and ratchet, I though what have I got to lose. I used the impact and spark plug socket on the left bank and was able to remove all four plugs effortlessly, almost immediately, and without even breaking a sweat. Yes the ones against the firewall are hard to get to but if you have some different length extensions and a couple swivels you can get the impact on all 8 plugs on that vehicle. So if you are at the point of reading reviews for this tool it is probably too late to let you in on the impact secret but wanted to pass that knowledge on in case you still have a few plugs to change. Tool worked great for what it was designed to do.

This spark plug removal tool worked like a charm! No broken plugs, no issues whatsoever. I used 3 cans of injector cleaner in half a tank the day before I changed plugs... Helped a lot! Don't lean on it too much as the plugs may still break off, but slow and steady should get the job done problem free.2004 F150 5.4L with 430,000km.

Already had a tool for removing broken spark plugs, but had two cylinders where the entire ceramic insulator was left intact after the plug separated. This tool successfully extracted the entire insulator on one plug, but broke the insulator on the second plug. I accept the fault for this as I probably over tightened the tool before extracting the insulator. It is a bit difficult to get the tool tightened around the top of the plug - I had to use a screwdriver in the bore to keep the base of the tool from rotating, but once installed, it worked well.If I have to change plugs again, will probably try this tool first as it has the option to be used to remove the plug and insulator at the same time - definitely worth a try!

This tool worked well for me. I took my time. Used lots of good penetrating oil and slowly worked them in and out a little at a time until I had plugs out. Was worried about damaging threads on the aluminum heads so with a lot of patience I managed to successfully replace my spark plugs.
