Spark Plug issue....
So I am changing all of the plugs and one on the ps bank is hard on every turn coming out. I am about 1/3 of the way out and wondering if I should just put it back in or keep going?
Thanks for the help!

The engine warm? If you can get it warm somehow, that will help.
Just be sure you're applying your 'pressure' straight and not angling the plug within the treads, although you still have 2/3's in...How hard is hard? If it's resistant hard, that's probably alright, but if you need to get some good leverage, then be really cautious. Aluminum galls relatively easy and esp cold, so don't over do it.
it's a good idea to anti-seize the plugs' threads when you put the new ones in...

I cant get it warm because the plug is 1/3 out. I tried some wd40 and let it sit. I will try it again in the morning. thanks for the advise and I will use antiseize...
