I'm just wondering what methods you guys are using to remove all the grit and dirt from around the spark plug before you remove it?

It's a absolute pig trying to get the crud from behind it and dread that I've missed a bit when swapping over the plug.

Any tips or tricks?

i use an airline...blows it away. if its dried etc spray with wd 40 etc to loosen it

a paint brush and a vaccum cleaner

rocket blower

I use an airline.

if you don't have one, try the tyre inflator in the local petrol station.

But the comment about a brush and vacuum is a good one too.

You can also buy 'air sprays' in places like Maplin, it's just a can of compresses air !
