Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting yapeter New User Apr 15, 2010, 12:02 PM Post #1 of 3 (1452 views) How to get plastic tube out from piston area? Sign In I was puting WD-40 into sparkplug hole to unfreeze the engine. It did work. The little red tube about 3 inches long on the WD-40 came off and went into the sparkplug hole. I can not see it. I tried many things with on luck. Can anybody help me? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 15, 2010, 12:28 PM Post #2 of 3 (1450 views) Re: How to get plastic tube out from piston area? Sign In Are we related? I thought stuff like that only happened to me You can get that out with a funky picker-upper-grabber tool. The pic I'll post isn't real good but it has three or four grabber wires and would fit in spark plug hole and get the dang thing close enough to grab with something else like long needle nose pliers or it might work on its own. I see them at major parts outlets on this idea NOT just the magnetic one, You could also get some medium wire and make a "U" like a fish hook and twist it up once grabbed. You can get it.

Sign In I've always used a plastic magnet , not to be confused with an aluminum magnet. Seriously take a piece of mechanics wire , (at parts houses) About 3in from end smear with shoe goo , rubber glue or anything sticky insert about 6in of wire into clynder and twirl around .
