NEED HELP!!! Broken Spark plug
 
I was replacing my spark plugs today and the last person who put them in there tightened them down way to much so as I was trying to unscrew a spark plug in cylinder 2 with a spark plug wrench the spark plug broke in half leaving part of it stuck in there. now what do I do?????

Try to get the socket on there again. If the ceramic part brok off you should still be able to
 
unscrew the bottom.

buy a reverse tread screw remover! it will come out very easy! done it many times!

ohh and if there still ceremic in the plug, just crank the engine..
 
and the compression will blow the rest of the ceremic off!

You're talking to someone who's never done it......
 
not so easy the first time, without someone experienced showing you. It can also be very dangerous for the engine if you mess things up....

I'd say this is one of those things, if you're not sure, you'd be best to take it to someone who is.

you are right. but if he wants to do it, this is cheap and
 
on a scale 1 to 10 (10 very hard) this is a 4!

I got the bottom out..
 
I took of the top of the engine off and i was able to get out the bottom of the plug but theres little ceramic pieces still at the bottom and the new spark plug wont go in straight
