The threads in the head may be dirty. Try cleaning them out with a round wire brush. If that does not work, try a different plug. If another spark plug will not tighten, then the threads in the head are damaged and you need them professionally repaired.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?

To change the spark plugs in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Give the spark plug boot a twist to free it up from the spark plug, then pull on the boot to remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. 2. Use a 5/8" spark plug socket with an extension and ratchet or breaker bar to loosen then remove the spark plug. 3. Set the gap on the new plug to .045" then screw it back into the spark plug hole in the head. Tighten the spark plug and replace the spark plug wire. I change the spark plugs one at a time to keep from getting the spark plug wires on the wrong spark plug.

In your tool kit you should have a rench that will fit on the plug. You pull off the spark plug wire and take out the spark plug. Make sure the gap is set right for the new plug and put in in. Do not over tighten.


Is there a drain plug for the spark plug on the 2007 king quad 700?

A drain plug for a spark plug? Now why would there be? What would you drain from a spark plug.... the spark? If you're referring to a plug for the spark plug socket, I'm sure you could find something that would fit that would keep out debris while you let you engine sit without plugs. (Why??)

How do you change the spark plugs on a 1996 Cadillac Seville?

Remove the spark plug wire or coil and use a padded socket to remove the spark plug from the head. Examine the old spark plug for wear patterns. Very carefully start threading the new spark plug in, such as not to damage the threads in the head, and finally use the padded socket to tighten firm (lookup specific torque specifications for your vehicle).

Oh, dude, replacing a spark plug on a Coleman Powermate 1850 generator is like changing a light bulb, but with more grease. First, locate the spark plug, then use a spark plug socket wrench to unscrew the old one. Finally, pop in the new spark plug, tighten it up, and boom, you're ready to power up your generator like a boss.


How do you change the spark plugs in a 1996 ford windstar with a 3.8 liter?

You have to follow the below steps to replace the spark plug on Ford Windstar:1) Lift the hood and prop it open. Locate the front spark plugs, which are easier to remove and pull off the wire boot, or cover, that is connected to the spark plug.2) Slip a spark plug wrench on the plug and turn counterclockwise to loosen it. Pull out the plug. Rub spark plug lubricant on the new plug's threads and place it in the plug hole.3) Hand-tighten by turning the plug clockwise until you meet resistance. Finish tightening with the ratchet to the point where you need force to tighten further. Now, Put the boot back on the spark plug. Continue with the next plug until you've replaced all of the front spark plugs.4) Detach the windshield wiper unit with a screwdriver and pull out its electrical connection. This provides access to the rear spark plugs. Finally close the hood.
