Description
The Thexton Spark Plug Starter Set (492) is an essential tool for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts. This two-piece set simplifies installing and removing spark plugs, especially in cramped engine bays. Made from flexible and heat-resistant plastic, the tools can bend and maneuver into tight spaces that traditional rigid tools cannot reach. By hand-starting spark plugs with these tools, you ensure proper threading before using a socket wrench, preventing costly cross-threading damage. Ideal for modern engines with recessed plugs or classic vehicles with tight clearances, the Thexton 492 set provides precision and control for a flawless installation.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Prevents Cross-Threading: Hand-start spark plugs to avoid stripping cylinder head threads.
- Flexible and Heat-Resistant: Navigate around engine components and use safely in warm engines.
- Two-Piece Set for Versatility: Includes 3-inch and 6-inch starters for standard and deep-recessed plugs.
- Secure Grip: Stepped shaft and non-slip handle hold the plug firmly, preventing drops.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Included: One 3-inch Spark Plug Starter, One 6-inch Spark Plug Starter
HOW TO USE:
- Select the Correct Tool: Use the 3-inch starter for standard plugs or the 6-inch starter for recessed plugs.
- Insert the Spark Plug: Push the spark plug into the starter tool; the stepped shaft grips the insulator.
- Position and Thread: Maneuver the tool into the engine port and hand-thread the plug into the cylinder head.
- Confirm Alignment: Ensure the plug threads smoothly; stop and retry if you feel resistance.
- Remove the Starter: Pull the starter tool straight out once the plug is hand-threaded properly.
- Final Tightening: Use a socket wrench to apply the final torque according to manufacturer specifications.
