RE: spark plug stuck... need help
Same thing happened on "Tiff's car".
Inadvertantly the rubber grommet thing stuck to the plug on installation.
an oversight kept us from "spotting" it until the next plug change.
By then.. the engine heat coupled with the spark plug wire pressing DOWN on the rubber grommet, the darned thing was melted to the spark plug, and flattened to such an extent it was covering the part of the spark plug that the "socket grabs"
Here is how I got the danged thing out.
1 hr of cussing, crying and prying on the grommet.
.5 hour of lightly hammering with a soft mallet
Here's the deal.
I put the spark plug socket w/extention down as far as I could JAM in onto the plug.
I lightly tapped and rotated the spark plug socket until it wore thru the rubber grommet and finally "attached" itself to the spark plug.
{note} tape your spark plug socket FIRMLY onto the extention.
this will save you a half hour of trying to retreive it from the spark plug hole as I had to.
After about 15 minutes of LIGHTLY tapping with a soft mallet the spark plug socket did grab the spark plug and was removed quite easily.
After that we had to dig the remnants of the gormmet out of the spark plug hole with the equivilant of a "dental pick" {which we broke in the process, thus leaving us with not only rubber grommet to dig out, but a small piece of metal that was precariously dangling dangerously as if it wanted to fall INTO the cylinder}.
a magnet from autozone got the piece of metal out of the hole, and finally we dug all the rubber grommet remnants out of the hole.
After that, I went thru my tool box and removed and DISCARDED the rubber grommets from ALL the spark plug sockets!
I hope this helps you to some extent.
If you need further clarification of my "babbling prose"..lemme know
