we are seeing OEM plugs covered in rust/corrosion and getting seized into blocks due to them not getting proper anti seize from the factory. it is a scary scenario to get them out once they bind up on the way out after being in there for over a decade. we end up screwing them back in and running the car to get it warm before reattempting the problem plugs (we had 3 bind up on the last car we did). don't forget the anti seize on the new plug threads.


we have the MB special swivel socket to allow reaching all the plugs, even with the torque wrench, it is a very nice tool and saves such a headache.
