Re: Help! - Spark Plug Broke off - UPDATE
Wow, lots of similar problems. I am not real confident at the moment. I have good access to the plug and the easy out I have (#5) is and excellent fit and get a great bite. A 3/8" socket fits on the end and it does not come close to the electrode. I can crank the heck out of it but no movement so far. I keep hitting it with PB Blaster and tapping it but nothing thus far. I may try to locate one of these other penetrating oils or try the ATF/Acetone mixture. While I am able to hold the easy out straight and it's a fairly large one, I am afraid I am going to snap it off. I had been using a 3/8" ratchet but this last time tried a 1/2" and thought that would do the trick but it did not move. Hit it again with PB Blaster, tapped it and will try again later.
Thanks for all of the input and it is nice to hear the success stories. I will keep updating as I go through the process.
