Hi, my spark plug broke off. I do not have an easy out. Is there something else I can use?

Hello, I am Danny.

Did the porcelain break off leaving the spark plug head in the cylinder head? Can you take a picture with your phone and upload it here? Hope this helps and hope to hear back soon. Thanks for using 2Carpros.

Hi Danny thanks for replying, yes the main part came out and left the screw part inside the engine. Sorry my phone is pretty budget.

Hello again.

I would suggest using a vacuum to get out all the broken pieces and clean spark plug hole best you can. Use a screwdriver or pliers to straighten the electrode the best you can. Insert the spark plug socket and remove the remaining threaded piece from the cylinder head. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
