Got a question about removing a plug

Try to change my Taco 2020 spark plugs. Pretty much figured the procedure, I think. Got one thing that I just can't figure and that is the plug on the driver side. I don't know what is called. I am afraid to force it using pliers and can't force it by hand due to having Thumb arthritis. I did take a picture and is the one circled. I think I got it unplug to get the left spark plug on the driver side.

 

Pic didn't come through.

 

Thanks, I am going to try upload again.

 

They make pliers specifically to remove plugs like this. Maybe those are your best option? They have ones with different angles so pick the one that works best for that plug placement.

Just use regular needle nose pliers .. just don’t squeeze too hard just enough pressure to loosen it . It should just slide off .

 

Thanks, squeeze it from the top or the bottom? Dose it have a tab at the bottom that should be squeezed, or just grab with pliers and pull it up?

 

If u look at the picture squeeze from the top u can see the tab on it .place pliers in the middle of it careful around the wires. apply light pressure it should just slide off .

 

Thanks a lot guys. I just got home and did it as you said. Used a pliers and gabbed it in reverse U from the top and it popped right out.

 

Anybody here old enough to remember old-school spark plug changes -
I've never been mistaken as a mechanical type, but I could change these out in a snap.
I'd be hard pressed to even find the daum things in these new engines.

 

I think got unplug this plug too. It pushed in like a little pus h button but can't access it that way. Any way to remove it by unplugging the connection.

 

I am no expert by any means but I think this is your connector release tab and they should be another one on the opposite side squeeze them and pull out.



Edit: There may only be the one tab if so just push in on it till it releases and pull out.

 

Eventually, changed the spark plugs. Took me 3 hours with 30 min. break, lol. Started from the most difficult one, IMO, the one on the front driver side. It was the first time doing this.
Figured you don't really need to unplug the plug in the last pic.
