Compression Tester Adapter Stuck....What can I do?

[ramchrisfla]

Ok, I did probably tighten it too tight, now it won't come out with the adapter.



When I put my finger in the thread hole where the adapter is, it feels like it is spinning with torque coming out but I'm not sure....I'll keep at it, but is it possible it's just spinning and not coming out?

Tap and die might need to happen I know...not sure how to use them...but I'll probably figure it out....last resort right?

Would it be ok to run the motor with the spark plug out and wire disconected if I need to drive?


Thanks guys!!

I'd attempt to remove the heat shield around it to get a better bite at the adapter. And ONLY drive the truck if it's an ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY because you'll probably make the engine VERY angry by intentionally only running it on 7 cylinders.

used thread lock, got it out....hope my compression tester still works the same.
