Hey all,
Sitting at work a co-worker informed me that his 91 Safari was having problems. I took a look at it and found that the plug from the #4 cylinder blew out of the head. Only the core of the plug blew out while the threads remained in place. It is an extremely tight area to work in and I was wondering if anybody knew of any tricks that would work to get a socket on the thread assembly so It could be replaced with a new plug. It seems almost impossible to get at so I think that its a job for a mechanic, being that I cant do it with only a ratchet set.
