spark plug broke off

mxsignals · #1 11-23-2004, 07:07 PM

94 s10 97,000 I was changing my spark plugs and the center plug on the passengers side busted flush off. After pulling my hair out I went to the auto parts store and bought an extractor bit num# 5. It actually worked. This site has been a help to me so I thought I would add a little. The spark plugs remove easier under the wheel well on the passengers side anyway.

Just because the white insulator broke off doesn't mean you have to buy a specia tool to get the metal part out.

Just use the plug socket, it will still come out.

He said it broke off flush which means it broke off at the threads. You can't remove that portion because the hex portion is gone, he needed the extractor.

I had the same thing happen to my 2.2! Figured 20 minutes for four plugs, change the air filter and be in the house for dinner...... I tried the easy out, no good... had it towed to a local Pepboys. They used a #5 and after snapping the #5 (With the aide of a hugh pipe for torque, it was towed to a machine shop..... $1200.00 later my "Quick tune-up" was done!! Ouch! But the re-machined heads work great.

as usual, in his quest for 10,000 posts, he didnt bother to think about what had been typed.

Hey thanks for coming back for your monthly two post visit to slam me and cause trouble. Seeing this is first post, you have one more and you will be good for another long interval of doing fuck all here.

Way to go!

BTW, my last post was a month ago which would have been right about when you last visited here to again, do nothing.

This lack of maturity only amplifies your ignorance. I'm a retired sailor and I can communicate a little better than a four letter word---- especially when YOU WERE WRONG!! Cobra was pointing out that you needed to read the entire string.

Blaze-- thicken up the skin a little. Longevity at a site does not make one the master of the realm

Lets keep this site a place to exchange ideas and not gutter behavior. It is a great place to exchange knowledge and help each other out. Lets keep it that way.

Just a "newbie" putting in his 2 cents.

Hey thanks for that. I really appreciate it.

Seeing the 100 or so threads I am actively involved in, I am sorry that I don't reread every single word in all of them.

Hey, if you don't like my advice, that's ok, there is plenty that will.

Oh and the master of the realm thing, how about you grow up. Do you have some sort of weird inferiority complex? Do I rant on about how many posts I have? No!!!!

So how about you grow up and help instead of backing an asshole.

again your wrong, as usual.

12-8-04 corsica forum, 12-8-04 S-10 forum, 12-9 and 12-10-04 Lumina forum, 12-14 and 12-14-04 Blazer forum.

so what if from time to time i get tired of your speed posting and feel the need to comment on it. your not doing some of these people any good when you dont bother to think about their posts before you spout off incorrect information.

btw, when were you ever gone for a month?

the thought of that sounds real nice, but in case your unaware, anyone can look at the many pages of this forum and see that you've posted daily or near daily without fail, and that your a lying sack-o-shit.

BlazerLT · #10 12-22-2004, 03:30 AM

Hahahah! God, you are a joke, do you really think I care when you last posted? Not a bit!

Yea, I post daily or almost daily, why is there something wrong with that? I don't think so.....

You are just a loud mouthed blow hard that does fuck all and somehow has the time to trash my posts, but oddly enough has barely enough time to post any help or content yourself.

Do this, leave me alone and help the people in this forum.....

WHAT AN IDEA!!!!!

appearently you do, you took the time to lie about it, and when the truth is posted, you come back with more insults, name calling, etc. in an attempt to draw attention away from the truth.

It was called a humerous exaggeration. God, you are just like a little puppet, I twitch my hand and you start to dance.

Quite fine, nice of you to ask.

(laughing at you actually, as you make an ass of yourself, and people see that you'll post any lie that you think may make you look good. the funniest part being, your the puppet dancing when the strings are pulled, and dont even know it. i can make one little post, and you start your normal rant. funny.....it is.)
