PB blaster for a bit them some heat if prob your best bet I'm taking my SxS to the garage tomorrow because i have 4 seized lug nuts. 650 lbs or torque didn't do it so I am hoping 1000 over there will with a better socket. I can't hit it with the torch because i want to sell the wheels and I can't get a cut off wheel in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots used open lugs on this one wheel so all the shit got nicely in there. Full length where i could have gotten good grip i think they would have gone. I already know i am sacrificing the spacers in this process i just want them off. I only need one good spacer for the wheel I have as a spare. I tried to tighten to see if i could snap them and no luck their either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostynuts Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Like someone else mentioned, use some heat. Small narrow flame, and concentrate it on the stud and nut. Works wonders, and it won,t mess up the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pull the head and and get some penetrating oil on the inside. Usually there is a small buildup of carbon on the bit of exposed thread in the cylinder and that prevents the plug from loosening., If you have a fine wire brush give it a cleanup on the inside after you blast it with penetrating oil. once the head is off some heat to the head works too after cleaning the threads.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted January 22, 2021 Author Gold Member Share Posted January 22, 2021 Got the plugs out easily with pb blaster & an hour soak time while I ran some errands. Now it seems the right cylinder is not getting fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
