stuck as in jamed or stuck as in you dropped it down in there? stick a wrench down there and jiggle it out. If that doesnt work get something long that you can clamp it with then jerk that bitch out. Never happened to me before so i donno what to tell ya.

it was jammed but i got it out
i still need to know my gapping though :P
alot of ppl are telling me that the plugs are preset to the right gap but on the back it says to gap and tourque to the manufaturers specifications...
if thats true then that means my gap would beee..... about 4.2?
does that sound right?
i duno i need help... its starting to get late and i want to have my plugs in for tomorrow lol

I have a stock LS. I just replaced my plugs. The guy at the auto parts store said they should be gapped to .44. I have had them in for about 2 weeks and the engine runs fine. If you have any doubts, call an auto parts store. They should be able to tell you the right gap.

They have the same engine so I believe they are the same gap. If you have an Auto Zone that is open 24 hrs as I have in my town, call them and they'll verify the gap
