This tool set removes broken spark plugs from 2004 and newer Triton 3 valve per cylinder engines, (a common problem).

The set includes a unique porcelain pusher tool and a tapered left-hand thread remover for removing the broken spark plug without leaving the porcelain in the engine cylinder.

Porcelain pusher is used to press the porcelain piece, without breaking the porcelain, farther into the plug tip.

This provides space for the left hand thread remover to bite into the stainless steel plug tip so it can then be pulled.

Blow-molded storage case included.

I just bought one of these and it worked perfectly!

I changed the plugs in my 2005 Ford Expedition. I had access to the Ford Technical bulletin regarding removing the spark plugs. I followed the bulletin to the letter but still broke three spark plugs during removal. One head had one broken plug and the other plug had two broken plugs. I thought I was going to have to remove both heads to get the plugs out!

To compound my troubles, each plug was broken a different way. One just left the metal sleeve in the head. One had a cleanly broken ceramic. One had a jagged broken ceramic piece that extended almost 1/4″ above the metal sleeve. I thought for sure I would have to remove both heads.

I looked around the internet and found this tool. At first I thought it was expensive but after reading comment on various boards, I realized it was a real bargain if it worked even for one of the heads. New gaskets cost more for one head than the cost of this tool. Many people have spent thousands to remove broken spark plugs.

I used the tool and it worked like a dream! The first time I used it, it was a little hard to get started but after that it was perfect. It even worked on the plug with the jagged, extended ceramic. The tool broke the ceramic on the top and pushed the piece down as designed. I wish I would have thought to put some grease on a cloth strip and shove it down in the plug hole with a long screwdriver to pick up the broken ceramic. However, I think I got the whole thing cleaned pretty well.

This is an excellent tool and does a near perfect job of removing broken spark plugs from Ford heads. I recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

great tool except that the tap part of tool strips after 1 use even when the directions are followed to the “T”,i quess its still worth it considering it save you from having to pull the head off engine. i just wish i didn’t have to buy a second tool to take out the second broken plug. hardened steel should’nt strip this easy………

According to the other reviewer, these valve covers are made of plastic. That solves a problem for me and I’ll buy them. Recent Porsches have TPMS, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Steel valve caps interfere with transmissions from the pressure sensor in the wheel, so the owner’s manual warns explicitly against their use. Plastic caps will do just fine.

I may come back and change my review to a five or a three after I use them for a while, but being made of plastic is not a deficiency, it’s the only kind we can use on our cars.

I bought this set of valve caps a couple of days ago and I was a little worried about the negative review of another person. When I received them I noticed that the quality and finish was outstanding. The chrome finish is shiny and the details of the Porsche crest are well defined. The glass dome type finish on the top of the cap is an excellent plus since you can notice the shiny colors of the Porsche symbol just by standing in front of the car. I am not worried about them being plastic because once installed they looked great on the car.
