I'm getting tired of breaking stuff

[@kyferez1]

Take the cylinderhead off and tap the extractor out from the bottom and then drill the sparkplug out till near to the threads. Once done pick at the remaining bits and it will come out. You taught me to start working on bikes; now I can give you advice :)

[@davidsmith3995]

I agree, I did this an old CB200 head, worked like a dream. No helicoils were harmed or needed

[@rinkinkel]

Since the metal of the sparkplug is harder then the aluminium of the head, you better be dead center with your drilling. (I failed miserably at that.)

[@kyferez1]

@@rinkinkel Most likely it will be because the center of the plug came out so there already was a hole. However it doesn't matter cause if you are watching what you are doing, you will see if you get close to one side of the threads, and when you do stop drilling and start picking at it.

[@VashStarwind]

Could also weld a bolt to the inside of the broken spark plug, and should help to unscrew it

[@spaceboyrr]

Use the blue wrench (torch) to heat the area up before tapping the extractor into the hole.

[@wobblysauce]

And some of your finest ATF.

[@audiogarden21]

Right, because the heat will allow the extractor to sink into it without also applying as much outward pressure as a result of the softer metal giving way and cooling around the extractor.

[@alanwilliamson6421]

I’d like to give my two cents about the lawnmower noise pollution that you were talking about. The main reason is so that your neighbors and everyone in your neighborhood will hear you mowing YOUR lawn and in turn will say I think it’s time to start mowing OUR lawn. Secondly I’d say the reason you kept on trying is to show persistence. I commend you for it and for sharing your FAVORITE words of wisdom. 💚

[@rayworx]

The engine'd have to come out anyway so might as well do it now! I had 2 of these TL's and they can be a problem if allowed to sit outside but that's water under the bridge now. Pull the engine.... remove the head and soak the daylights out of the spark plug hole. Most any good penetrating fluid will work. Drill out the remains of the spark plug and YES you were right about the easy-out adding tightness to the spark plug!

Now I understand why we don't call them "Easy Out"s any more. I guess we can't call them screw extractors, either. 😮‍💨😞

[@aaron71]

I've legit never gotten an easy out to work. Just drill and tap! 😄

[@billarmstrong7155]

Never try to Gorilla this stuff off it always ends up poorly, you have to be patient with this old rusted stuff. Use PB blaster and heat, but now you have to take the head off so you can get the extractor out, there is no drilling those out. I think you can still get it. If all else fails after you get the extracter out you can drill it out and use a helliocoil to repair the head, but try penetrating oil and heat first.

[@VashStarwind]

Weld a bolt on the broken spark plug and after soaking it with pb blaster, it would probably come right out. The heat would help too.

[@VashStarwind]

You could probably remove the cylinder head, and punch that remover out from the bottom. And then Id spray some PB blaster or some type of penetrating oil on the broken spark plug, and let it set for a day or two. That stuff is like magic. Then you could maybe weld a bolt on the broken threads of the spark plug and then that would give you something to twist it out with (It shouldnt stick to the aluminum but only the steel spark plug). Might have to weld the bolt on from the bottom (inside the cylinder) cause it would probably be a bit tight from the top. May be able to get ur mig gun in there tho.

Try to Remove the head use heat and a crayon and or drill out the spark plug untill it's almost gone and it should spin out. If that don't work look into a helicoil or timesert. There thread replacements for this precise thing. Love the content from you both. Every day is a must as well.😊😊😊

I like my battery powered weedeater, as soon we have some kind of electric riding mower that has been around a bit and can mow an acre+ I'll try one of those too. I wear ear and eye ppe during mowing anyways. Like my electric chainsaw aswell, does a fine job. Not gonna replace a stihl for felling a bunch of trees, but fantastic for trimming up the property.

It may be a little late, but aluminum expands twice as much as steel when heated. Maybe removing the head and heating it in a very hot oven might prove useful. It would have been better if you did that first though.

[@charliemills8264]

I was cringing when you began using that easy out. I had the same issue on a 1980 Honda CB900C I was restoring. I got the same exact results you did. I ended up just buying another head off of eBay. That plug was fused to that aluminum and nothing I threw at it made any difference.

[@Nevir202]

1:51 Me looking at just shy of 350k subs: What do you mean 300K? You expecting that kind of losses? LOL

[@daniilvolkov8790]

Take the headers to a machine shop, have them mill out the rest of the plug. Surprisingly not so expensive but its only worth it if you plan on using the part yourself. Not much profit left in that.

well you knew that was going to happen, but on a positive note 5/16 inch screw extractors can take 79 foot pounds of torque.

[@travisr896]

I was hoping you weren’t going to snap anything.I was going to suggest dumping some Marvel mystery oil,WD40 or any other kind of rust inhibitor lubricant down the cylinder head and try letting it soak for a day or 2 first. Then if it still wasn’t going to work try getting a torch and heating up then cylinder head. But now I’m outta ideas 😂

[@mattschamel6550]

Alum. I think it was Ave that showed you can use an alum solution and heat and it will eat the steel away and not harm the aluminum.

[@jlucasound]

That's the problem. You put too much "Prayshure" on the spark plug. 🤣😂❤✌😇

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Try transmission fluid when you have bimetalcorosionalizedgooberazaion. I leave it for a few days and then add a little heat. It only smokes a little bit, like a rasta on April 20th. But it will come loose. Sorry about your vintage extractor that sound is always gut wrenching.

soak with oil, and USE SOME HEAT! the dis-similar metals will heat up at different rates, and expand a little, the oil will wick into the threads.. and voila take the head off, and its a lot easier to work with..

[@jameslarson6555]

A hot solution of alum (ammonium aluminum sulfate) will dissolve the steel without damaging the aluminum. It has to be at a low simmer temperature but you can watch the fizzing action until the steel dissolves. Not sure how you could isolate the part in the solution but I’m confident in your abilities!

[@hojo70]

I think you're going to want to remove the head and use a lot of heat, aluminum responds well to heat in terms of expansion. Depending on how much of the plug is showing through the bottom you may be able to get purchase from there.

[@Kash_Moto]

Heat and PB blaster over and over should do the trick. Or drill and tap, then helicoil thread insert. You can do it!

[@Jools-j2l]

Heat the cylinder head around the threads with a blowlamp and melt candle wax to run in to the opened up threads, heat,and wax..repeat several times, gently increasing the torque, assume it will be siezed from the beginning.

[@fizzy49cc]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. But seeing as you are going to part it out. You could have stripped it down & got a shop to remove it. But 6k people watched (& cringed) as you snapped off a hardened steel extractor; whilst shouting "Don't do it" so what do I know. Chicken was a nice touch though.

We bought into the electric yard tools. Everything's been mostly fine except when we had a tree fall right onto our house during a burly snowstorm and I needed a chainsaw to cut it all up, we bought one for $300 or $400, somewhere in there, that had battery compatibility with the existing ecosystem we'd already gotten into with our leaf blower and weed eater, etc... The thing came with a big battery and I was using it on the weedeater mostly, but now that battery is already dead. It won't hold a charge no more. I barely used the thing - and that's the catch. These batteries lose capacity if you don't use them. That battery didn't even last 2 years. The original smaller battery is still running, maybe because I used it more, but yeah it's a real bummer. Now I only have the little battery that can barely run the chainsaw at all, and I can tell that it's losing capacity too. It's pretty bad. I could've bought a gas chainsaw and I'd still be able to run it, it would still be usable. Right now I have to go buy a new battery again - and then what, that investment is burnt after another 2 years? I really don't believe that battery technology is where it needs to be for vehicles or anything serious at all. Maybe in 10 years they'll get the capacity degradation solved, and the dendrite and spontaneous combustion solved. Then I can vouch for it. I will say, though, that chainsaw did have some legit power and runtime per charge when the battery was new.
