- Extracts the broken porcelain from spark plug sleeves that broke during a regular service
- Services: Ford ’04 – ’08 (4.6, 5.4 & 6.8 engines)
- May be used with #2365 kit
- MADE IN USA
The spark plug will break in 1 of 2 modes:
Mode 1: The ground electrode shield is left behind as an empty shell.
Mode 2: The porcelain center and ground electrode shield is left behind.
CAUTION:
DO NOT DRIVE PORCELAIN DOWN INTO THE GROUND SHIELD AS FRAGMENTS MAY ENTER THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
ENGINE AND BONDING ADHESIVE MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPETURE OF 70 F (21 C) OR HIGHER FOR PROPER CURE AND BOND STRENGTH.
DO NOT REFUSE PINS. THIS ENSURES SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS FOR BONDING.
Removal Instructions:
- Remove any remaining electrode material from broken porcelain using long needle nose reach pliers.
- Spray a good quality parts cleaner fluid into the porcelain hole for 2 to 4 seconds.
- Insert the pin into the adaptor. Thread shaft and tighten to lock in pin. Insert complete assembly into guide.
- Retract the adaptor and pin completely into the guide therefore protecting the pin.
NOTE: DAMAGED OR BENT PIN WILL PREVENT INSERTION INTO THE PORCELAIN.
- Insert the assembly into the spark plug well and insert the pin into the porcelain hole.
- Spray metal parts cleaner for 2-4 seconds between the spark plug well and the guide. Lift guide slightly to allow fluid to flood plug well.
- Pull threaded rod up and down, cleaning the inside of the porcelain with the cleaning fluid. Be sure to not disengage the pin and porcelain.
- Repeat process 6 and 7.
- Remove tool assembly and flood spark plug well again with metal parts cleaner, then completely blow out the entire well and porcelain with dry compressed air.
- It is important to be sure all parts of assembly and spark plug well/porcelain are clean and dry for proper bonding.
Porcelain Removal: Bounding process
NOTE: DO NOT ALLOW LOCTITE TO CONTACT THREADS IN CYLINDER HEAD.
- Working time limit of Loctite 680 is 10 minutes.
- Apply Loctite to the applicator approximately ¾ inch long. Do not apply excessive amount of Loctite to drip off the applicator.
- Insert the applicator to the porcelain and move up and down approximately ½ inch. Twist the applicator to completely cover the inside of the porcelain.
- Add additional Loctite and repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Clean the applicator with metal cleaner before agent starts to bond.
- Reassemble a clean and dry adaptor and pin assembly.
- Apply a generous amount of Loctite to the pin (do not allow to drip off pin) and retract pin assembly into the guide.
- Insert completed assembly into spark plug well and fully engage the pin into the porcelain with a twisting motion to spread bonding agent.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8.
- Leave assemble to set and bond for 1 hour before removal.
- Install the washer and nut to the end of the threaded rod and finger tighten.
- Hold the end of the threaded rod with a wrench and tighten the nut until the porcelain is free of the ground electrode.
NOTE: If the pin does not successfully cure and remove the porcelain, repeat the process using a clean pin, dry and clean porcelain and prevent the threaded rod from rotating during removal process.
