Roger,
I had one customer with a particularly difficult mag plug removal and tried all
the techniques you mentioned without success. This one required use of an "easy
out". Sometimes the last resort is the only way it will work.

What I have seen in the field are owners not striking the plug hard enough on its
edge. I don't mean to wail on it, but little taps don't do it either. It's
a fairly sharp rap.

Hello All.
I have managed to free the magnetic plug, it was a sod of a job as the key hole
was not in good shape and had a job to decide if it was Torx or Allen Key.
I eventually decided Allen key, first tool just bent up, tried long handle Allen
key and could see the key shaft bending,
I applied heat and cold then releasing agent plus a long socket drive with with
Allen key and it free, this all took about 3 hours,
The plug had some filing stuck to it, nothing solid but particles, wiped clean
and refitted, I will order a new type plug for next time.
Will check it again in 10 hours, and use the new plug. The engine is on a Flydat
recorder and has done about 440 hours the Airframe about 340 hours, i have to
idle for 5 mins before shut down on each flight to cool the turbo, so warming
up and shutting down takes between 10 to 20 minutes.
so the gap keeps getting bigger.
I have New Oil, New Filter, New Air Filter, Clean Magnetic plug, and a clean engine
and cowling's.
I can not achieve a perfect job,ie having the particles analysed ete ete, so have
to accept its far better than before.
My next job will be a complete Hose change maybe this winter.
Thanks guys for all your Help.
Alan

Roger:
What are the Plug's threads made of?
What is the material that the plug is being threaded into?
Is there a Heli-Coil in the case for the plug?

Thanks to all for your various comments on this.
We've swapped in ignition modules from another engine and it now runs. We
need now to work out why the original modules failed :(
