Guest tbutera2112 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 im trying to get this plug out and when i get the spark plug socket down onto it real good and spin it, it spins freely like its out...if i go to pull the socket out it stays attached to the plug and wont come out...so i taped it real tight to my extension and tried, and pulled hard and it still wont come out....but it spins freely like its loose...and i did unscrew it when i first put the socket in, i dont know why its not coming out...help? tried a magnet too and it didnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 hole isnt stripped.... it was spinning freely because the socket wasnt grabbing anything...the head of the plug and most of the ceramic is completely destroyed from the previous owner...schumuckingham came and helped do the plugs, changed 7 and left the busted one in there until i get it running again and i can take it to rob so he can look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 it has to be stripped out or you dont ahve your socket on the plug and you think it is spinning... there really is no other option.. it is like a bolt without a nut. it is either going to be in there tight or stripped.

schmuckingham Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 almost looks like someone jb welded that plug in...that or its buried in shit... I blew the excess gunk out of the hole but I still cant find the plug head. Looks to me like someone hit it with an impact gun and left it alone after they shattered it.
