Bought a 01 Ram 1500 went to do plugs wires on it and can’t remove a few of them seems like the metal on the plugs is rusting off contacted the guy I got it from and found out the 21/2 years he had it never did a Tune up and then he contacted the guy he got it from an found out he didn’t do a tuneup for the four years he owned it any help on how to get them out would be great tia jay

 

PB blaster or the such soaked for a few days. If that doesn't work heat is your best bet

 

Thank you going to try tomorrow

 

Also, be sure to remove the spark plug tubes. They are not needed and allow debris to collect around the plugs and cause the type of issue that you're experiencing. You can easily remove them with a pair of locking pliers and wiggling the tube a bit to eventually pull it out.

 

Thank you I hate them tubes don’t see any reason for them other then to be a pain in the *** been trying to get them off now for two days can you remove them with the plugs still in ?

 

Yes. Even if you break the porcelain part of the plug, you are still going to change the plug anyway, so feel free to go for it.

 

Just be sure if you do break the porcelain, that the inner porcelain is intact. It may slide down the electrode, that's okay. You just don't want it to shatter.

Otherwise, B'Laster or Kroil soaking for a day or two and then use a proper plug socket. Maybe use a handle extension on the ratchet.

 

With engine cold, remove the tin around the spark plugs. Then, clean the crap out from around the plugs. Blow gun/air compressor work pretty well. Once those are out of the way, start the engine, and let it warm up a bit. (just so the temp gauge starts to move) Shut the engine down, and spray the plugs with the penetrating lubricant of your choice. (but, WD-40 ain't it.) Let it soak in for a while, then do the same thing again. With the engine STILL warm, try and break them loose.
