Ops, spark plug question

Postby rolla_fxgt » Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:28 pm

Awhile ago i changed my spark plugs to the appropraite ngk iridiums, but being in a slight rush i managd to get that supid rubber o ring stuck down the hole with the plug, so now i cant get it out or take the plug out. Anyone have any brilliant ideas on how to get it out? or sum really long & narrow needle nose pliers?
its a 20v silvertop by the way.

A bent coat hanger will fix anything.

Get a piece of welding wire, sharpen it to a sharp point then bend the tip back like a fishing hook.

Push it down, peirce thru the rubber and pull it out.

Common ocourance.
