compression tester stuck in head
like the title says, this is so stupid. The hose just keeps twisting and twisting. I tried starting it on 3 cylinders hoping it would heat the head enough to expand the spark plug hole and let it go, didn't work. What should I do? :1

Get one of these for next time. I've got one on order from my dealer. As far as getting yours out, did you try filling the hole with some PB blaster or something? It may help.

so the hose is still attached right....pull until the bitch breaks, then take a thin wall 19mm (i think) and get the tester out. you might have to grind down the outside of the socket. i did a similar thing: left the extension on the end of the tester, which got stuck down there
