Ahh, Don't even worry about it. Even if they break, they can get them out no problem.

I spent 2 years "worrying" about mine. Yes, some broke, but they all came out.

If you've run a good brand of gas since day one (Chevron, BP, Shell) then it shouldn't be too bad. A few might be stubborn and make scary noises, but they should ease out. And don't forget the pb blaster.

seafoam them down a few times the week leading up to the plug change & you will cut the amount that break in half. Did mine at 95K miles & only broke 3, another buddy with almost same mileage broke all but 1. ouch

Well I have 90,000 miles and I am confident I will break a couple but as was said, what can you do?

Turning the engine over may be ok but I wouldn't start my engine on 7 cylinders.The unburned fuel from other cylinder could wash down the cylinders or collect in the catylac converter and ruin the cat.

Aha! At last a reason for "why not".
