Coil pack won’t go all the way in? Help!

The caps are impossible to get out, do I use penetrating lube under the dust seals?

Before you go levering against delicate and expensive electrical components, there is a much easier way. There is a drain hole for the spark plug tunnels located under the header pipes on most models.

A squirt with an rubber tipped air gun and a gentle twist of the caps will free the most stubborn.

A small squirt of contact spray on the inside of the plug terminal and some silicone spray wiped on the outside makes installation a breeze.

I have seen a fair few damaged coil caps from levers in 20 years spannering.

Thx for this.  Have to look at the motor for future reference.

Not impossible to get out, hard maybe.

 

Fish a length of nylon cord down from above and round the cap. Then wrap cord around a bar/piece of wood and pull directly up.
