Re: [DML] Spark plug problem, bad.

[kKoncelik@xxxxxxx]

The fact that it broke like it did may indicate its rusted in place.

I would plug the hole a bit to keep stuff from getting in.then soak the 
threads if you can with WD40 for a while.

They do make an easy out that will fit that size hole but you may have to go 
to a specialty tool store to get one or find one on line.

IF it doesn't you can have the hole resized  close to the thread dimensions.  
Sometimes the easy out then will work better since the thread is not as stiff 
and has some give.

This happened on one I had a few months ago and I was able to just put in an 
oversized flat screwdriver and get a bite on it and it came right out after a 
few days of soaking.

I got lucky.

This is not a hard thing for an auto repair shop to do so the best suggestion 
is take it there and let them take it out.

Burtons by me charges $30 a bolt and although I have few bolts that give me 
problems when there is one that is in an odd place or not worth the effort of 
screwing up I take it there.

That would be my suggestion since a good easy out of that size will cost you 
more in time and materials than taking it somewhere.

This is a totally solvable problem so just don't panic and get help.  If  you 
are near a DMC center take it there.
