The 1991 is overdue for an oil change, and the oil has been changed for the past year by the dealer. Today I took the 13mm wrench I always use and went at it. push, no dice, push harder, feels like its turning, and find i stripped the head a bit. darn thing. I have never had it so jammed before...
What can I do to get it off? what did I do wrong? Should I take it back to the dealer? (they put it on, they can get the bugger off...) either way im stalled for the day as I dont have a spare plug and even if this one comes off it wont go back on. Help!!!!
-a very frustrated Josh
