Okay, so my friend and I decided to change out the plugs on my GST. We went to O'rileys, bought some NGK's and proceeded to pull the Bosche plugs. Well we started on cylinder 1 and carefully pulled the 5 month old plug out and out of no-where the plug snaps inhalf at the base. I had never had this happen before and wasn't sure what to do but we finally rigged together an "easy out" system but never tried it though being afraid of metal shavings getting ontop of the cylinder. So somehow we dragged the damn thing 2 miles up to the local car place(Jiffy Lube equivalent) and waited an hour for them to look at it and they wouldn't touch the damn thing without spending $2000 to remove the head(I overheard them charging someone $250 for some new plugs and wires and $400 for a fuelpump ) so I knew it was bogus. So we got a tow-truck and took it to a local import shop and the guy there ended up riging up the same fuckin "easy out" system we did and he got it out in about 20 secs with no trouble(and with no charge). After studing the broken plug it turned out to be a manufacturer defect and it had been broken the whole time The new NGK's make my car backfire a little but nothing major. Right after all this I looked online and there are a lot of people that have had this happen with this company. SO BEWARE OF BOSCHE! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!
