Re: Broken spark plug

No there is nothing for a socket to grip. Only a round bit if the bottom and the insulator inside that. The hex part broke off. Not sure what brand it was but it was CHEAP as well as installed wrong. I am debating on what to do next as it is just so hard to even look back there let alone work there. I had pulled several items off the motor such as ignition module/coils, wires, hoses and part of the front end for various repairs so not able to drive it anywhere as is. Not even licensed. I might just get rid of it too, not sure. Time is a problem for me as I have a lot of irons in the fire and do not want to deal with removal of the top end right now. I see where there was a specialty tool made for Ford trucks that has a problem with broken plugs and might even try an easy out. Maybe I will get lucky, or, maybe I could have it towed to a machine shop, although I think that might be expensive. Just not sure...
