Syan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hello, I am having trouble changing Spark Plugs - HT Leads don't want to come off :/ another problem I am having is that the Radio Antenna doesn't want to unscrew - forced to hand wash the car ;p Any clues?

my_name_is_Groot Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi. Sounds like your leads might be corroded where thet grip the sparkplugs. Try twisting the ends back and forth a few times and see if that helps. Failing that brute force might be the only way!! Regarding the ariel, squirt some WD40 down onto the base and leave it to soak in for a rew hours and retry. Hope this helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syan Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Had to do it the brute-force way - it was the spring inside holding it I guess. The aerial still doesn't want to go off ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Don't use WD40, use a proper penetrating solution, like Plus Gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syan Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 That damn thing still doesn't want to unscrew! Will need to change I guess - I fear previous owner glued it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
