Thank you for this video. The feeling of extracting the threads was greater than anything I have felt before. I don’t think there’s a drug or experience out there that could top this feeling.

You’re telling me? I parked in a no parking spot on a sunday evening. Had my joint not come out, i was looking at a $115 parking ticket the next day, possibly a tow, and then having to pay the mechanic god knows what. You should see my elation when it came out. Thank god I didn’t give up

Saved my life brother. Replaced spark plugs in a 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas. Used a torque wrench to tighten but for some reason one of the spark plugs broke. You can imagine how I felt! Did a search, found your video, picked up the ez-out at Lowes for $10.00. Extracted and replaced the spark plug today. Holy sweet Jesus am I relieved!! Than you for posting this.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! I broke off a spark plug in my Prius and was at a loss as to what to do. I called around and had two mechanics flat out refuse to work on it. I had another tell me I was pretty much borked. I followed your technique and it worked like a charm. I cannot thank you enough, my friend. I would kiss you on the lips if you were here (in the manliest way possible)

Same here was glad it came out. Worked on second try. Best to go slow, steady and straight. First time maybe I hit hammer to soft. Better to increase hitting pressure than point of no return. The 2nd time I could feel the threads been dislodged. Then took of ratchet and the rest by hand with extension....steady n straight. Works. Used Thomas tools method

Thank you for this. I haven't broken a spark plug but I'm trying to prepare myself just in case lol. My (37f) dad was a mechanic so he did all this stuff for me but he died several years ago. Good mechanics are getting harder to find. A shady mechanic took advantage of me (claiming my car needed parts it didn't and then charging for labor + returning parts the parts I bought), so I decided to learn to do this stuff myself. KZbin videos have helped me so much, but the comments have been just as informative.

Thank you so much for this! I had a brand new spark plug break in a Kia Soul despite using anti-sieze compound and a torque wrench (the other 3 torqued down fine). I was able to extract it using this method and it even came most of the way out before I needed to tap on the extractor with a hammer to drive it in. That saved my bacon and the car is running fine on an old plug in that spot until its replacement arrives.

Thanks a lot... I got same problem and it got resolved thanks to your input here. Besides I couldn't hammer it in the beginning because I was doing Subaru Legacy 2005, which has its sparkplugs position on sides thus not giving enough space for properly hammering it. Therefore it took some time and then I had to slightly hammer it to get it fixed before unscrewing the plug. Glad and relieved to get it fixed within 24 hours of breaking the plug in it and getting relevant tools for having it done. Thanks again.

UPDATED TRICK FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING IN 2023🚨🚨🚨🚨 Use a screw extractor with a bit that fits into a screw driver with exchangeable ends and screw it out slowly and carefully. You can find a screw extractor from Harbor Freight for under $10 and it will save you a expensive trip to the auto shop! I just did it and it worked. Best of luck!

I snapped a spark plug head right off trying to remove it. My friend/neighbor did the same. We were able to use the Ryobi extractor #5 from Home Depot it comes in a kit for like 10 bucks. Due to lockdowns in our region we were limited to the tools we were able to get. We used a 3/8 extension backwards (it is not a perfect fit) on the drill bit. With an adjustable wrench that we had a short pipe on. We sprayed penetrating oil for 2 days and took it really easy. We turned the wrench (also supporting the extension) until there was good pressure and tapped the extension bit on the head with a hammer. We were successful at removing 2 broken spark plugs. I hope this helps but don't hold me accountable if things go sideways!

2008 honda fit motor. The #5 Ryobi (19/64) is too small for the spark plug body and falls through. I bought an 8 piece ATE Tool Piece Screw Extractor kit, but the 5th one (19/64) in the 8 piece set is larger than #5 ryobi and barely starts to thread at all. It goes all the way into the spark plug body and barely starts to catch near the end of the threads. I pulled it out with shavings but it never grabbed. The next size up wont fit - socket is too large and won't fit down the hole. I took a 5/8" spade hole drill thing and grinded it down to taper and sharpened the edges. I tapped it in with a hammer pretty good, but it would not budge at all. Soaked with penetrating oil but no luck. Will try again tomorrow. Have you seen the spark plug body be too large before? #5 Ryobi is too small for the threaded body left in the engine. Not sure why my opening is much larger than everyone elses. Thanks

The spiral extractors break off far too easily. I use the square extractors, which grip the edges over a small surface area and tend not to expand the entire surface area of the remaining spark plug threads.

Came here to see if anyone mentioned square cut extractors. I just picked a PROTO square cut extractor set to pull the plug threads from my SRT4 head. A bit more $, but i didn't like the idea of the spiral extractors. Depending on how 'stuck' the threads are, the spiral can push the thread material outward when trying to remove them, which can lead to the extractor snapping off. .02

What did u use to keep the easy out tool to stick to the extension since I’ve only seen them used for drills?
@YourCarGuyDR
@YourCarGuyDR Жыл бұрын
I used a spline drive socket that held the tool. You can get square Drive sockets, eight point sockets or use a tight fitting six or twelve point socket as well.

That's a very aggressive easy out. I am having this problem right now. The easy out I got is not grabbing. What brand of easy out are you using?

what if the spark plug snapped off in there? not just the threads?

You will need to break out or drill the ceramic center to get room for the tool to go in. Just remember that you will need to get all of the debris out of the cylinder to prevent engine damage.

The extractor/easy out has a reverse spiral in it so that while turning counter clockwise the extractor will bite into the plug and then the plug will turn itself out.

how would you suggest this process if the broken threads have the permanent thread locker on it?? let me know man

Adding heat will help. I don’t know why anyone would put thread lock on a spark plug but if you can heat it up it should help.

What if there’s still ceramic and the iridium rod still in it????

You will have to get those out by either breaking the ceramic or drilling it out. You then need to make sure and vacuum any bits out of the cylinder before putting in the new plug.

What is the name of the extension bar you have on top of the ez out? It seems like it would need to be a female to female extension and I can’t find anything like that.

I used a standard 3/8” drive extension six inches long with a socket on the end of it that would grip the ez out.

I have the same problem on my 08 E90 BMW but the ceramic is still inside the snapped plug. How would get the EZ Out to engage the thread? Thx.
@YourCarGuyDR
@YourCarGuyDR 3 жыл бұрын
That gets much tougher. You could use a long drill bit to drill out the ceramic. However you would need to make sure to get all of the ceramic out very carefully with some sort of a vacuum.

Yo I have a Honda Issue - 2006 Honda Odyssey Tampered Tip, over the cooper core ground electrode. Snapped in the engine area and it was dry but dark with white dirt on it. The main problem now is the Honda does not start. 1) Starter replaced 2)Ignition replaced 3) Battery full 4) Ground issue fixed. 5)Spark Plugs replaced with -4 tip Audi A6 4.2 Quattro spark plugs..... 6) Used a portable 1500A Jump Starter - failed 7) Car makes Clicking sound when turning the key. What can I do now, help needed!

Akuma Raou you need to make sure the engine isn’t seized by using a ratchet to turn it by hand. The main crankshaft pulley is where you want to hook up and see if if the engine will turn. If it turns fine check both your power and ground cables.
