I decided that I'd tackle the tune up on the burb this afternoon / evening. I just recently purchased the truck so I wanted to be sure a tune up was done as soon as possible because who knows when the last time it was done. I tackled the following tonight;
Oil Change
Distributor Cap
Rotor
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Everything was a snap until I started pulling plugs out. If felt as if they had never been changed! I thought for sure I would be snapping one off into the block before the night was over, but luckily that didn't happen.
I get down to the last plug and I can't get the socket onto it. I seriously spend over an hour trying everything I can think of. Finally I decide that something has to be lodged in the hole not letting the socket onto the hex part of the plug. After half an hour and with the help of my digital camera...EUREKA, I SEE IT!
1/4 of an inch of the plug wire had broken off while I was taking them off. It took another half an hour and 3 different knives but I finally got that sucker out!
I've never seen that happen before. Man it had to have been forever since this thing had a tune up!
