If you own a 5.4 liter Ford engine with three valves, you might encounter the need to extract a spark plug at some point. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of using a spark plug extraction tool to get the job done.
The spark plug extraction tool consists of several components. There’s a piece with threads that can be directly attached to the spark plug hole. This piece contains a plunger, which is used to push the remaining ceramic part of the spark plug further down.
After pushing the ceramic part down, you’ll set this piece aside and then use two other pieces. One is a sleeve that drops down into the spark plug hole, and the other is a piece with extractor threads that go inside the sleeve. These extractor threads are designed to bite into the stuck sleeve.
Once the extractor threads are in place, you’ll use a socket to turn and grab onto the sleeve. The extractor threads are reverse threaded, so turning the nut counterclockwise will pull up on the extractor and slowly remove the remaining spark plug.
After the extraction, your spark plug will be on the end of the tool, and you can easily remove it. This tool provides a reliable way to extract broken spark plug pieces from your engine.
