There is nothing connected to the plug end????

Once the cover is opened, can you simply use a socket to unscrew the plugs?

I'll have to remove the cover and get a light in there to see this.

I read on another forum the coil connection was stuck and they pulled it loose but broke it.

Thank you for the info people. I'll try a 5/8ths socket and a ratchet. Hopefully it works and nothing brakes... I'll let you know what the outcome is.

mechanic<<< never broke a spark plug<< use pb blaster... its made for metal and probelms like that.. u can get it at any pepboys.... its sorta like wd 40... but better for rust and such... once u get them to losen a bit.. go back and forth tight and lose.. so you dont strip the threads

Shock is always better than constant pressure. Otherwise high chance of stripping the spark plug or cross threadding and ruining the thread.

So make a nuckle and hit the wrench with it couple times.

Just in case.....
Lefty Loosy Righty Tighty.

So if the ratchet handle is pointing towards the windshield you wanna shock it towards the psgr fender.

Good Luck.
