Lisle (LIS65600) Broken Spark Plug Remover for Ford Triton 3 Valve Engines Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just bought one of these and it worked perfectly!
I changed the plugs in my 2005 Ford Expedition. I had access to the Ford Technical bulletin regarding removing the spark plugs. I followed the bulletin to the letter but still broke three spark plugs during removal. One head had one broken plug and the other plug had two broken plugs. I thought I was going to have to remove both heads to get the plugs out!
To compound my troubles, each plug was broken a different way. One just left the metal sleeve in the head. One had a cleanly broken ceramic. One had a jagged broken ceramic piece that extended almost 1/4" above the metal sleeve. I thought for sure I would have to remove both heads.
I looked around the internet and found this tool. At first I thought it was expensive but after reading comment on various boards, I realized it was a real bargain if it worked even for one of the heads. New gaskets cost more for one head than the cost of this tool. Many people have spent thousands to remove broken spark plugs.
I used the tool and it worked like a dream! The first time I used it, it was a little hard to get started but after that it was perfect. It even worked on the plug with the jagged, extended ceramic. The tool broke the ceramic on the top and pushed the piece down as designed. I wish I would have thought to put some grease on a cloth strip and shove it down in the plug hole with a long screwdriver to pick up the broken ceramic. However, I think I got the whole thing cleaned pretty well.
This is an excellent tool and does a near perfect job of removing broken spark plugs from Ford heads. I recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
