2006 5.4 Spark Plug Removal
#3
Like a tap
Having done this quite a few times, The best chance for success is to run the socket like a tap. 1/16 of a turn out-1/32 of a turn in, 1/16 of a turn out- 1/32 of a turn in. Go slow and work the plug by feel. Once you get the plug 1/4 of a turn our, run it back down in and start again. A few different length wobble drive extensions and a long breaker bar works the best to get the plug started out. My 8 for 8 success rate with this method is very good. Dynotech is 110% correct you NEED the Lisle 65600 as plan "B".

The whole key is to GO SLOW. 1/8 turn to barely unseat the plug, carb cleaner to the bottom of the hex of the spark plug...you'll see air bubbles as it goes down the threads. After 15 minutes, I went back to the plug I started with and retightened back and the 1/8 turn loose again. Repeat. And then a 1/4 turn out then tight. repeat. You get the idea. Before the plug comes all the way out, take an air hose with a rag and blow out the excess carb cleaner. I had all eight come out, not one broke. And yes, they do screech a little when coming out.
