Hi Teresa, here's a link to a nifty little way to do both things in a simple and cost effective manner. So long as you create the vacuum within the tank you should be sweet!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @teresa Glennie . It's amazing to have you join us and many thanks for your question on lawn mower maintenance.

I wasn’t able to find a reference to the Gardens Choice GLM460 in our system. It may be a mower purchased from another retailer, and if that’s the case, it would be best to contact the place of purchase or the manufacturer for specific advice about that model, such as which spark plug it uses.

However, in general:

* Draining fuel and oil: The oil can be removed using an oil removal kit, and a siphon pump can be used for the fuel. If you need to remove all remaining fluid, you may need to carefully tip the mower to drain any residual fuel or oil. Make sure you tip towards the opposite side of the air-filter and exhaust.
* Spark plug: You can remove the spark plug using a spark plug socket set. If you bring the old spark plug into your nearest Bunnings store, a team member from the Power Gardening team should be able to help match it with an equivalent replacement from our range.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
