On the cars last service getting the plugs out was a bit of a git on the wifes ford ka which is notorious for seizing in.
What can I put on the threads to ensure they come out easily infuture ? (not sure on the correct lubrication to use copper grease or silicone grease are both used for high heat waterproff and so forth) whats the recommended olube for this application ?
A copper based grease.. Mike.
eg copperslip, and ensure you a) only tighten them to contact + 15deg, and b) remove them yearly, even if you dont replace them.
Tim..
Nuts I just finished a tube of copperslip recently. I have some silicone grease ? would that do the trick ? or should I get my coat and go and buy some more copperslip?
Buy some more copaslip :-)
Hehe ok will do. I spent 2 years trying to use that tube up and finally did this month on a pad changed.
