I dont have alot of money so I have a basic tool box set. I was going to remove the spark plugs with a extended spark plug puller. The thing is it got stuck in there. so basically its just a socket inside the gaps.. and I cant lift it

How can I get it out?


I'm not good with cars, drift, race or any of that. I just like driving my 240sx. I would appreciate it. I know it sounds like a stupid question

spark plug socket got stuck?

ghetto way is to wrap the end of the extension in electrical tape so it's a tighter fit in the socket


real way is to get an extension with a locking end on it, so once you stick it in the socket it won't come out unless you pull the slider back

its stuck on the plugs, ive been trying to get my car started for a while now. Ive been trying to find the problems, and right now my car isnt firing up so I wanted to change up the sparks.
Im located in monterey park


it goes

wrench + extender then it goes into the socket < the socket got stuck in there, not the wrench/extender

Just put the extension in the socket and wiggle it around with force side to side and it will come out.. If u really can't get it out at all i could go help you tomorrow.. I'm like 15 mins away.

Take the spark plug back out with the socket.

the only way it could be stuck in there real good would be if you shoved it in there real hard like a retard.


i would pull the valvecover and push it out from the other side.

i got a compression tester fitting stuck in there once the "ghetto way" with electrical tape worked like a charm super 33 by 3m FTW

take it back out, pull the plug out of the socket, spit on it, and torque it back down.

always worked for me.
