Sparkplug Stuck
Hello. I ran in to a problem this morning. I am replacing my spark-plugs however one of the is stuck. It looks like there is a rubber washer stuck on it was it stopping me from getting the socket over the plug. The space is so small that I cant get anything down there to remove the washer. I think the honda might have left the washer in there when they replaced the spark plugs in 03 for a recall. Any advice on how to get that washer off? I really have no idea what the hell it is doing there. I

With the combination of a knife to cut and stab it to pieces. I dental pick to scrape loose the small parts. A vacuum cleaner with a small tube rigged to it for sucking all the loose pieces out. And a can of compressed air to blow out all small dusty bits. And five hours later I got it all out and the new plugs in.

Or you could take the corresponding rubber bit out of your spark plug socket if that doesn't work...
So funny my mate was working on his Supra while I was replacing his front pulley, he was swapping out the plugs and was tightening them up and all of a sudden he couldn't fit the socket over the plug.
Him and another guy was there for 5-10 minutes trying to figure it out... I got out from under the car, loooked at it and you could see the rubber on the top... i almost smacked them over the back of the head lol
