SPARK PLUGS

SPRAY SOME PENETRATING OIL THE NITE B4 YOU PULL THE PLUGS, WHEN YOU DO, THEY SHOULD COME OUT EASILY.
HOPE THIS HELPS

PB blaster works well. The plugs tend to corrode into the head because the heads are alluminum. Be sure to take an air compressor and blow the crap away from the plugs before taking them out. That way you don't get stuff in the cylinder head.
