Yesterday's effort was spent removing spark plugs from the 121. I attempted this last year and decided it was going to end badly so abandoned it. Took three hours to do a basic service... Heated engine up, pulled out leads, soaked in wd40 while changing oil etc. One came out easy, the others were properly stuck. More wd40. Two came out ok with a bit of muscle. The fourth I was sure was going to break something. Shattered the ceramic and had to use bamboo skewers to get the shards out before continuing LOL. Anyway lots of heat, muscle, patience etc got it out without too much damage. New plugs got smothered in oil and went in much better... Today I got my gearbox and rims from my green writeoff, so the 121 can get some new, slightly too big shoes until the teddies arrive.
