• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Changing the spark plug.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the spark plug? My problem is I don't know how to remove the plastic fittings that are fastened to the flange above the plug. I don't want to apply brute force and try to pry them off in case I break something and I can't find any info anywhere on how to do this.

When I checked my clearances, I don't recall anything really special when I removed one of the spark plugs. I think I simply removed the electrical connectors/coils from the top of the plugs without fuss, just carefully pulling them off. Make sure you keep track of which connector/coil goes on which plug. I seem to recall the plug itself was very tight and rather difficult to break loose initially. Of course, I was doing this after I got the airbox removed, so it may be a bit more tricky with that still in the way.
 
I reread your post. The part that fits onto the red valve cover itself is just a rubber type thing that just slides off. It is simply held on with friction, like a dust boot.
 
I used my bare hands to remove them. I suppose you could gently use a flathead to pry them loose. Just remember which holes the appropriate plug goes into, they are marked black and white.
