Assuming you were using a spark plug socket and not just a regular deep socket that happened to fit, we see here the downside of: 1) Ultra-extended spark plug intervals 2) Champion spark plugs > What can I do to remove this, I've tried my tap and die, I could not > move it.

First choice in penetrants is Kroil, but you're not likely to find it locally, so go get a can of Mopar penetrating fluid P/N 4318039 from your dealer. I've never figured out what they put in this stuff and it has a truly bizarre smell, but it works very well. I'm not quite clear on reading your description where the plug broke off. I'm assuming it sheared right off right *BELOW* the hex section? Are you left with a solid plug, or with a ring of metal? |
