Spark Plug Virgin
#21
You are welcome! Be gentle, don't get over zealous with the big long bar to break the plugs loose!
Alittle turn to loosen then a smaller turn to tighten, kinda like you would use a tap to thread a bolt hole. I use my shop vac to clean any loose debris from the plug area in the head to avoid it dropping down into the combustion chamber.

Well. Mission accomplished!!!! the plugs put up a fight to come out but each one came out cleanly. I think they were the original plugs after 180K Miles!!! I encourage everyone who comes across this thread to just go ahead and do it using the advice provided. The plugs read AC Delco 12599232, which I briefly tried to research and could only find that they have been discontinued and replaced by the AC Delco 41-103.

Honestly I did get a little scared because with all four none of them gave loose with that initial tug. And when they finally broke loose the felt like the BROKE loose. I read so much about spark plug jobs before doing it but now I'm convinced that you would really have to be somewhat stupid or a gorilla to mess the job up. Seems like it would be difficult to genuinely mess up like cross thread or break the plug or something like that
