I had just noticed the "energy cell" chapter in my manual, and decided I would try to clean mine up. I had bought a tool from Tessman Tractors for around $84.00 shipped. It's very well machined, and well made. You will need a very large adjustable wrench I tackled it today. So, removing the large nuts on the outside of the head was easy. Once I got into the block, the "cap" would not come out. Asking around on a few forums, they advised to cover the Energy cell hole with a board, and crank the engine over a times, and the pressure would blow it out. Which was the case. I spent 2 hours trying to pull it out, as the manual said, with a pair of pliers. Good luck with that. The turnover engine trick worked excellent. **Be aware, the plugs will come out under extreme pressure** Have a board over the head so you don't lose the plug. DO NOT have someone hold anything near it. There is a distinguishable "pop" when they come lose.
