So me and some of my buddies are changing the plugs on my truck, all things are going well until the back passanger side throws us a curve. For some reason the socket wouldnt lock onto the plug. So after some frustation we decide to get the digital camera and take a picture to see what the heck is going on. The picture showed that the spark plug had split in half and the ceremic from the plug had wedged it self between the wall and where the socket would go on the plug and i cannot get it out. I have tried to vacuum it out, coat hanger, screw driver, nothing is working, have any of you experienced this or can give me ideas on how to get this out. once my friend gets his camera back he will post the pics

 

I would probably try to break it into smaller pieces and then vacuum the small pieces out. Don't hold me responsible if you end up breaking something though.

 

Larger bent nose neddle nose pliers will work, with a lot of feel to fish it out.

 

Spray a bunch of WD40 in there~~~~~~~Take a break let the lubricate saturate the wedged object..............Try to relax...........

10 mins later .......Go for it again .......Don't get frustrated....

Being the #4 Plug you may want to put a 6" long small diameter hose on the end of a phillips screwdriver and move it around to loosen things up........Good Luck You can also put the new plug end into the small diameter hose to start threading the new plug.
