Several possible aids (assumes METAL parts): (1)Apply Liquid Wrench or similar penetrating product - wait 10 minutes or so, try again. May need to repeat this several times (2) Tap lightly on outer plug socket with a hammer. (3) Use a very LARGE pipewrench (20" or more)-all things equal, the more leverage, the better. A length of pipe can function as an extender to provide even more advantage. (4)If all else fails, apply HEAT to outer joint with a propane torch. This will expand female part of connection and permit better penetration of lubricant. (Be VERY CAREFUL about the immediate environment here-obvious potential fire hazard.

Somewhere in this series of steps, you should see results. If not, I'm stuck. When you replace plug, use high-quality pipe dope or Teflon tape on threads.

How do you remove the middle drivers side spark plug from a 1992 S-10 BLAZER VORTEX 6CYL. ENGINE?

What I had to do is to take the plug socket and put it on the plug then take a open end wrench (3/4" I think) and break it loose. I then took a piece of brake tubing and put it over the end of the plug and backed it out that way. To install reverse the procedure. Otherwise you will have to take the steering column loose.

What would case a ford f150 to leak oil or antifreeze around the spark plug?

This could be a valve cover leak, allowing oil to drip down into the cavity where the plug lies. Clean the area and see if it repeats itself, and look for signs of a leak. A second explanation could be the plug is not seated or tightened correctly and is leaking a bit of the fuel/air mixture out of the plug threads, causing an oily mess there. Gently check to see if the plug is loose, and try replacing the plugs. Be sure all the surfaces around the plug and on the plug itself are clean.

How do you change transmission oil on a Geo Tracker?

easy take out the drain plug (lower plug) located midway through the transmission using a 3/8 drive. This will drain the tranny oil. Then break the upper plug loose and put the lower plug in and tighten. Slowly fill the tranny with 85w/90 through the upper plug until it flows out of the plug you are filling. Finally install the fill plug and tighten.
