freaking spark plug crossthreaded!

[Nalleywhacker]

so i was changing my spark plugs the other day and the last one in the back was crossthreaded and well i snapped it off and the only thing that is left in there is the threads everything else came out. ive tried for days to get the threads out with out pulling the head. i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get it out without pulling the head?:nono:

try an easy out drill bit.

try an easy out drill bit.

Yeah the problem is we cant get an easy out down in there.

Did you remove the valve covers?

get an extension bit. you cant expect to do the job if you dont have the tools.

also, next time you install plugs be sure to use a torque wrench and anti seize to avoid this problem in the future. i doubt the plug was in there cross threaded, it was probably just over torqued.
