How in hell do I remove the spark plug tubes on my 1mzfe motor. they don't have threads on top like the 5s. I have tried heating them up and pulling them up and out with vise grips but they wont budge. any help would be appreciated.

I think they're pressed into the head during assembly and are not to be removed, I don't think Toyota sells them apart from the head as I don't seem them on any parts diagrams. Hope you didn't screw them up so bad they won't seal anymore, looks like if you did then you just junked a head.


They are just aluminum tubes cut to a specific size. If for some reason I did mess one up I'm sure I can get a tube and cut it to size. According to the assembly drawing I have. It says that you coat them with atf then press them in using a SST.
