5.4L Fuel Injector O Ring In Spark Plug Well

[stamp11127]

Try some sticky wheel bearing grease on the end of the spark plug socket if everything else fails.

Is the spark plug in or out? I like the hunk of wire made into a u shape. So the thin grabber tool wouldn't get in there? You can get different sized adapters to shrink down your shop vac hose. Empty the inside before you start. That way you won't have to root around the dirt and gunk to find out if you sucked it up.

Stick a plastic funnel in the hole and press a shop vac into it. It'll suck it right out. Ask me how I know...

If your house vac has the typical hose on it you can just use some 3/8" clear tubing and use your hand to seal the tubing to the vac hose while you stick the other end into the sparkplug hole. At least with clear tubing ( Home Depot...) you can see the O-ring if it gets sucked into the tubing. Use a new vacuum bag and you can probably recover it if it makes it all the way into the vacuum.

Look at all these Mcgyver's here. I like the one with the funnel the best.
