Sparkplug removal

Perplexed

Member
Have a 15-30 IH and can"t get two of the sparkplugs to turn. Have been trying with a deepwell socked and breaker bar without success. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Will it start and run? Had a similar problem with my 3 cyl gas Ford backhoe last year. One tight plug. I believe in heat and candle wax, applied to the plug, broken off bolt, etc, while cooling. Got the tractor started twice, warmed up, (plugs are recessed in that tractor) torch heat would not work........DID IT TWICE, APPLYING CANDLE WAX EACH TIME....finally got the plug turned out.
 
if you have torch heat the plug and around the plug up pretty good then hit it with cold water it will come out then or just use the impact it will rattle it loose
 
When I install spark plugs,I put a tiny bit
of anti-sieze on the threads. I"ve never had a
removal problem!
 
When it's running try to spray penetrating oil into the intake in sufficient quantity to soak the other side. Sometimes that works. Patience and lube, warm up and let cool. Good luck.
