Putting your fingers in a plug socket can result in a dangerous electric shock, which can cause severe injuries or even be fatal. It is important to never touch a plug socket with wet hands or any objects to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

You broke a plug trying to remove it what is the best way to get it out?

Usually if you break a plug it is only the top white ceramic part. The only time this would be a problem is if your plugs are in the top of the head and down in a hole. They do make needle nose pliers long enough to reach down and get the plug. The ceramic part should have come out with the socket if using a regular spark plug socket. That would leave just the base. Take the socket and put a piece of tape on the inside of the socket on each face. Bring it out over the edge of the socket and onto the outside. This will make the socket enough smaller that it should hold on to the base of the spark plug so you can get it out.

Where is the spark plug on a John Deere LT133?

Look at the oil fill. The place where the dip-stick is. You will see a metal clamp. Follow that clamp to the front. There you will see a black wire. That is the wire that goes to the spark plug. Gently pull the wire off and then you will see the spark plug. You will need the the long 1/2" socket in order to fit into the space to loosen the plug. When you put the new plug in,use the socket to help you. It will be easier for you. Your fingers will not fit. Good luck, Lou


How do you change spark plug on snapper sx5200 snapper snow blower?

Take off the gas cap. Take off the big plastic cover with a socket and wrench.Then put the gas cap back on. Then pull of the spark plug boot. Then take off the spark plug with a spark plug socket and wrench. It should be 13/16" socket with 3/8" drive wrench. I Think the spark plug gap is 0.025 but you would have to look at a manual.
