Was doing the first tune up on my gf's vette and when i was taking out the plug in cylinder 3 it wouldnt budge. so i took a breaker bar to break it lose. well after breaking it lose the plugs would spin but now it doesnt want to come out or screw back in has anyone had this happen to them and did you fix it i am in a bad way right now

 

Never heard of that

 

did you strip the threads out?

 

I think that is it i just need to get it out now

 

You broke off the plug in the cylinder ?

If so there is a very informative thread up, if I find the link I'll post it here for you.

Good luck, and what did the G/F say when you told her ?

 

****, that sucks man.
have you tried just pulling it out?
I don't know if easyout will work on sprak plugs

 

Gf was working on it as well didnt break the plug though it is just stuck in the head it spins and wiggles but it doesnt want to come out, if you can find that link that would help me out alot if not i will be taking the head off this weekend

 

I looked, but I don't have my contacts in. LOL. Anyways I'll look again tomorrow, but the gist of the thread is that the OP actually broke the plug off in the cylinder and the only way to fix it was to remove the head.

 

Found it

Hope it helps

 

could it be that the "nut" on the spark plug broke and then the thread part is remaining?

sounds like a PITA either way

 

Shet, I have never seen that before.

I would figure out a way to get it out without pulling the head. Pull the manifold, let it sit overnight with penetraing oil and pray like hell. I would refuse to remove the head....well until I actaully had to.

 

What year is the car and how many miles? Cause im guessin someone changed the plugs without antiseeze or anything smeared on the threads of the plug allowing it to corrode probly cause they let moistue or get to it. Or they couldve torqued it way to much to where they couldve cross threaded them, with or without something to prevent seizing. All i got to say is atleast the vettes heads are one the easiest things to remove on em. lol

 

Well I took off the head and I ended up breaking the base of the plug due to no antiseize on the plug the thing look rusted took a all a hammer and a easy out to get the job done and thread was saved anyway fished the car last night going to fill the coolant and ps fluid I see what happens next after I turn it over

 

I WIN! but man thats total bs that you had to do that. If people would go that extra limit and spend a lil more time to do things right, big problems wouldnt occur like that. People are to damn lazy and ignorant to realize the small simple things count in the long run.
