Well I might have just had my worst experience with bosh ever. But I don�t blame them for all of it. So here is what happened. As I was putting the spark plug in to hole 6 today just as it got tight I mean I didn�t have barely any force on it. It broke off just above the nut. So right now I got half the plug in the motor and half in my hand and I was wording what I can do to get this thing out short of pulling the head. Is there a tool out there for such a problem what can I do? HELP PLEASE

I guess I dont quite understand... if it broke off right above the nut then you should be able to just thread it out with the socket wrench right? But if the bottom half of the plug broke and feel into the motor, then you can pick up a magnet tool from Autozone, its a very powerful magnet on the end of an antenna like extendable pointer, very useful in these applications.

Also make sure you get all the little pieces of porcelien out too. That could be bad.

If you have a shop-vac, Take the valve cover off and create a good suction on the plug hole to get contaminates out. If its broken above the nut, why can't you just un-thread it?

You might get lucky with an "Easy-Out". I've never drilled a spark plug before. Start with a smaller size and go from there. If you can't get the debris out of the cylinder, your taking the head off. If you drill it straight in the plug, it should come out. At least it's the front of the motor.

Have not seen this one in years.
Use a torque wrench on plugs in aluminum heads!
Use antiseize on plugs in aluminum heads!
Inspect the threads carefully when you get it out, if the threads are damaged you need to put an insert in to restore the threads.
