thanks thats a good tip. I wonder how PB Blaster would work? I know from working on marine outboard motors heating aluminum is important for thread release. I usually use a heat gun, a little more power than a hair dryer.

It doesn't work. Neither does Seafoam Deep Creep. Stick to the Kroil or the Motorcraft Carb cleaner ONLY.

My advice is if you're going to do a plug change yourself to go ahead and buy one of these tools ahead of time or know where one is that you can borrow. I followed the plug instructions to the Tee. Using aeorkroil and an overnight soak and still have broke 3 out of 6 so far.
What kind of mileage did you have before you changed the plugs?

I understand the 04's were most subject to breaking because they didn't use antiseize on the ground sleeves at the factory.
