Default Lisle tool, plug change

Hey Guys...I am going to change the plugs on a friend's 06 GT with 57K on it...I had changed my GT's plugs with 11K on it... followed the normal soaking TSB procedure and had no problems...I also pulled them again recently to check them...again no problems. I am going to follow the same procedure on this GT and I have the Lisle tool in my possession and have viewed the instruction video and read instructions...I am asking for any advice from those who have used it...for any pointers or cautions...I want to do all I can to make sure this goes smoothly.

I just use a long pair of 90 degree needle nodes pliers. Works great and is a multi-purpose tool.

In case shards dropped into the cylinder (and they did!) I had ready my shop vac with a few feet of vacuum tubing duct taped onto the end of the hose. I ran it down into the cylinder and it worked perfectly.

Hopefully you are replacing them with one piecers or at least new ones?

Remember, the anti-sieze goes on the smooth barrel, not the threads.

Lisle tool works fine. Here's a youtube of me using it...

I had 94k on the clock... I only cracked them 1/8th turn and used PB Plaster, ATF, Acetone and carb cleaner to soak them.. every one where the goo got on the carbon came right out.. three weren't cracked enough for the goo to get in.. and two of those broke..
