My advice to you would be to take it to a mechanic if you're not confident trying to get it out, you might be able to easy out it.


I've had Champion Race plugs that were neither Champion or Race. After fouling them once, cleaning them up, three would die under load! Never had problems with NKG or seen the threads sheer like that!
The answer is Helmholtz!

I had a customer come in with some Champion plugs from a 265 Hemi, and the electrode was actually sliding up and down inside the porcelain :?
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

well good news guys, I talked to my mechanic today and he suggested I tap a tapered flat head screw driver into the bit of the plug which was stuck in the cylinder and just unscrew it like that, and it worked a treat !

So now I have one of the old plugs in until thursday when I get paid, it's a different type of plug though, is that gonna matter?
