Thread: Spark plug change BA Falcon

Then you need one in between, with a plug gripper or magnet

Would a universal joint/ flexible extension help?
I scored some with a ball end which are handy for some tight spots.
I recently bought a Falcon RTV ute with the 3 valve V8 fitted, it came with a spare set of new plugs.
The previous owner hadn’t been game to change them as the originals are 2 part and have a habit of leaving the bottom part in the head.
I got a mate I’d worked with 40 plus years ago to give it the once over and do the plugs.
His young bloke who he’ll be taking over his business did it no probs.
Hes not conveniently close to home or cheap but I get him to go over all our vehicles every year or so.

I use two short extensions; lift the upper one out until you can grab the lower one, then separate them and pull the lower one out. People who do this for a living probably have a quicker, easier way but that was all I could come up with.
