Lisle 65700 Broken Plug Remover Kit for Ford 3V Engine

I used it specifically to remove broken spark plugs from my Ford Expedition 2005. If you plan to use the tool, I recommend you read reviews and watch YouTube videos before beginning, because one flaw is that the instructions came with the tool give you only the basics. The instructions do not mention lubrication but a recent reviewer here with a five-star rating has posted detailed pictures with what to do while using it. He has written an excellent review, which I highly recommend. Although I am not going to repeat everything he did, I will confirm a couple things where potential issues exist and how they were addressed. My first step was to apply nickel antiseptic Make sure to apply anti-seize compound to the threads on the tool before using it, except for the threads of the self-tapping screw. When I greased the self-tap screw thread, I used high temp grease, but this would work with any grease. These products are useful because they prevent the tool from slipping or getting stuck as well as helping to prolong the life of the threads, screws, or nuts. The people who don't do this seem to have the most troubles with threads getting stripped after several uses, according to some reviews I read. In all, I got 7 broken plugs, but I think I might have been able to do many more. But it still worked in general, and it could be used. In that case, I probably could have filed a warranty claim with the company, but I had to replace all of my plugs, so I didn't do that. Last, I didn't see the way out of the plugs on this site described in detail after extracting them. At least not for me. They don't simply twist off as the instructions say. I've clamped them in a vice and tried to twist them off, but since they are circular that didn't work either. Using a 1/8" metal drill bit, I used a vice grip to hold it and used a screwdriver to break off the porcelain so it could go into the plug, and then break off as much as it could go to get it off the self-tapping screw. What are the reasons for doing Thus, I could pass a Allen / hex key through the two holes and then clamp the plug into the vice when the Allen / hex key was in the clamp so it would not spin no matter how much torque I applied. In my pictures the self-tapping screw is not shown, but it is still in the plug. You can then use your ratchet to put a lot of torque on the plug and rotate it clockwise to get the screw out. I found out how to do it and it worked just fine. So that people do not experience the same frustration I did, I hope this helps. They were all taken care of in this manner. Getting the hang of it takes some time, but once you do, it's not too bad. As for the rest of the tool, I made sure that the pusher was fully entered into the plugs without any issues. Many people say it is not a good idea as they fear breaking porcelain or something else and transferring it to the head. I have never experienced this. Then, whether you use a shop vac or air sprayer, you should not encounter any issues if you have tubing attached to the plug holes to suck stuff out and an air sprayer to blow it out. You need to take your time! I find it helpful. The total amount of time I spent on this is about 8 hours. The misfire I was experiencing was fixed while climbing up steep hills with a Approximately 55 to 60. The last thing to do if you break tabs from your coil connectors that hold them to the plug coil is to use a zip tie to hold it on, which is much simpler than using a wiring harness to do it. The tab on one of my tabs broke, so this is what I did. Once you have done this, make sure that you have attached your coils correctly as if you still have a misfire after doing this, it is probably because you sprayed too much cleaner in there and forgot to blow it out. My overall impression is that the tool is reliable, and I cannot think of anything that will be I don't know if any changes could be made to the directions or if the threads could be strengthened. On the tapping steel, there are four straight markings on the part of the self-tapping screw that is supposed to be better than the older version. Upon inspection, I found these 4 markings on mine. Thank you so much for reading and I hope this review has helped you. The effort I put into researching this review has been the reason I spent so much time on It would have been nice if I had a video to share as well, but I do not. Thanks for reading.

My 2006 Expedition required me to change the spark plugs, so I purchased both the Lisle tool as well as the OTC 6918 Spark Plug Remover Kit. OTC was helpful on a couple of frozen plugs, but a Lisle tool was also necessary on a couple of them. Depending on where the plug breaks when you attempt to remove it, it will determine which tool is best suited for the job. They both served their purpose in their respective scenarios. Keeping them intact is the best thing you can do. Without the tool, you won't have to repair them. The YouTube video advises spraying penetrating oil on the engine, letting it sit for 30 minutes, and then using an impact wrench and spark plug socket to disassemble the engine. My first impression of him was that he was completely crazy, but after breaking all four plugs in the right bank with a conventional spark plug socket and ratchet, I felt that I had nothing It was easy to remove all four plugs without a problem, almost immediately, and without breaking a sweat with the impact and spark plug socket on the left bank. I know the ones against the firewall are more difficult to get to, but if you use some different length extensions and swivels, you can hit all 8 of those plugs. It is too late to let you in on this tool's impact secret now if you are reading your reviews for it, but I wanted to pass this information along to you just in case you still need to change a few plugs. I found the tool to be perfect for the task at hand.

This was my first time working on a 2006 f250 5. I read everything I could before tackling it. My experience is as follows

The plugs break in several different ways (see picture). I. - In the first method, you use the Lisle tool to begin removing the broken plug right away. I. - It is necessary to break off and remove this ceramic piece before using the Lisle tool, as the second type of break leaves the porcelain piece connected to the base and remaining in the engine. The best method to remove the plug was with a bent screwdriver and curved needle nose pliers to grab the tip of the plug and pry it out, which was difficult since the electrode runs down to the tip, and that acts like a great deal of friction. After I stripped the second plug's puller screw, I stripped the second plug's puller screw and cleaned it. When you dial the 800 number for support, you are connected to a grumpy guy who will tell you to use a concrete drill bit and a high speed die grinder to break up the porcelain an additional 1/4" to get to fresh material. Although he said the stripped threads should still grab, I replaced the puller piece (Lisle part#65620) to be on the safe side. It is a method I have not tried, so I am unable to In a post about the puller on the Internet, I found a picture of someone using a 3/8 tap and threaded rod to make their own puller while using the aluminum spacer included in the kit as well. Since I had to get creative in order to fit the tap holder in the plug hole, I needed to get creative. If the tap needs to be longer, welding a new extension may also be an option. I was able to fix the stripped plug with this solution. As you can see from the image, the puller screw threads have worn down after one use if I do it again, I will buy a spare first. Here's an FYI I. - In a warm engine, the plugs broke within a few minutes
- In my experience, I had much better luck towing a travel trailer with a HOT engine (45 minutes) and only broke 1 out of Because the porcelain pieces pushed through the strap at the end of the plug during the process, every plug that I used the tool on left pieces in the cylinder during the process. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to know I left those pieces in my engine after blowing it with compressed air and moving the engine a couple of times with the plug out. But knowing I did these things only caused me more anxiety. I wish you all the best!.
