HOW TO REMOVE A BROKEN SPARK PLUG.THE EASY WAY! 

I listened to a lot of cussing and complaining about cars in general, and Nissan specifically. Never did see how to do the easy out thing. So I came here to complain and noted how the author is trashing those that tell him the truth...that you never did show how to do THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO. So guess I'll get called stupid like others.

mil-spec Motorworks! Excellent How-To video. Used the straight-edge extractor that your recommend to remove an incredibly, stubborn broken plug exactly like your issue. I sprayed Liquid-Wrench, gave it 24 hrs then tackled the stubborn plug-thread sleeve. Wha-La!!! Loved your " Don't freak out, give it 10 minutes, think it out, come up w a plan, be patient" encouraging words!!!! Couldn't of accomplished without your help!! Thank you sir!!!

You did tell us everything except what we were expecting to see ( how to solve the problem)

That easy out saved you so much time, you had time to make a 9min rant video. Good work!!👍🏽

I swear to god! when you said "patience is key" and "think it through" and "think of all the scenarios with the tools you have/don't have and all the pros and cons before you go at it" Its like you were speaking vicariously through me. This is how I know that YOU know what you're talking about here!

Spark plug just broke on a audi a4 2.0. Feel less nervous after watching this video. Great video buddy.

Great video you showed a good way to get it out and you spoke the truth good job man

Listning to the precautionary advisory of thinking things over, the customer mechanic role playing and the elaborating on vehilce quiality does help out. Thanks.

Came for the info, stayed for the sage rant/ advice. Lol. Thanks dude.

I've had 2 set of NGK's that have failed on me. Different times, different cars. In both cases they were the stock NGK's that came installed in the cars straight from the factory. In both of those cases the center electrode fell out on one of the 4 plugs. The first 2 sets of NGK's that failed on me (electrode falling out) it was within the 60K mile service interval. The plugs are supposedly good through 100,000 miles but my car maintenance manual says to change them out at 60K miles so that's what I was doing when I discovered the separated electrodes. Actually in the 2nd case I was just under 60k miles when I seemed to loose one of the cylinders on my 4-banger while I was out on the road. Had to drive back home about 3.5 miles running on just 3 cylinders, immediately upon arriving home I checked the plugs suspecting that I would find another failed plug just like I had in the other car ans sure enough, the dead cylinder was due to several causes, #1 being the detached electrode but #2 due to the fact that the plug had also worked its way loose so when I went to remove it, I didn't even need the socket wrench to turn it, i was able to finish turning it by hand with just the socket and socket extension. Upon close inspection I noticed that the crush washer was not crushed but still rounded and there was wxcessice carbon build on the upper part of the threads which there should not be, meaning that the carbon was making its way up there because the plug was not properly installed from the factory in that it was not fully tightened as it should be which is why the crush washer was not flattened like it would be had the plug been screwed in all the way. How much this played in to the electrode failure I don't know. Perhaps extra heat making its way from the combustion chamber to the upper plug area was a factor? Improperly installed plug aside, rhe manufacturer was right about changing out the plugs at 60K and not waiting until 100K like NGK suggests. The other plugs which were properly installed were still intact but the ingiting tips were very worn and very much thinned out to the point of looking questionable, so definitely would not have wanted to run those for another 40K miles to reach 100K. I've read elsewhere that NGK has shifted some plug production to China so perhaps that has been a factor in quality control? It's possible. I think NGK are still good plugs but just something to keep an eye on and be aware of. In retrospect, after seeing what I have seen of these laser cut, iridium plugs, I start changing out NGK plugs at 50k miles in the future to avoid potential issues that I already ran in to at 60k miles.

Bro you saved my ass right here, I was putting in some spark plugs and I was removing AutoLite plugs and it broke in my 2016 Civic 2.0l and you helped me save thousands

This is the kind of guy I like to work with 😄

I just broke off an NGK plug today. Of course it was pretty old and took a serious amount of torque before it went. Probably original 23 year old plugs.

Thanks for your video just got one out of an atv with an ez out in ten mins thanks to you!

You saved me a 100$ mate, thank you❤

I am using OEM Kia sparkplug with is ngk and it broke the new one that I put in

These will work for ACDelco sparkplugs right? (broke off one, its been sitting in the trucks engine for probably about 30 years, was tryna do a revival of a 60s C30)

Good video and especially good message . Thanks buddy

today i am here too. i was having a good day till sht like this happpend, the machanic said to me I shld take out the top for engineering lol. thank god i now have a solution. can't wait for tomorrow can't even sleep

Thank you so much I tryed and worked !!! Love you !

I have a 2005 linclon town car snd the "hex nut" that surrounds the spark plug broke off from around the outside of the spatk plug and is stuck inside of the spark plug ratchet. The plug is still inside the cylinder tho & the porcelin is intact. How could i get it out? Do i need to break it? I have no idea how to get it out.

Man this video saved me big time !!

I love you. Thought I fucked up beyond repair.

The reason your plugs keep breaking is you put anti seize on the threads. You simply overtorque them with the grease on there. It happens over and over again. Look it up.

Awesome video, man. Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Did you make the tool yourself?

How do you suggest I do this process if the threads have permanent high heat thread lock on them?

Where can I find those flat ez out? I'm looking for those exact ones. They look good and sharp.

Thanks for sharing. Job well done.

Thank you for the video bro good work 👍

That's a beautiful lady !! Funny I find myself here cause a broken plug no one can get outy pathfinder 😂 didn't wanna say nissan oops 😬 lol

I guess I can do the same for my Jimmy...I have a 2005 GMC Jimmy and that happen to me yesterday ( October 20th 2021)So I came to be saved on RU-vid...which tool should I try first...I don't think it's on tight. The others before were ok...I think they are just burnt and worn and so on and so forth...

What extent do need

Ford Triton 5.4 three valve are terrible for breaking plugs out of 8 plugs snaps 7 plugs

just snapped an ngk with 60k miles on it , 4l explorer, # 3 cylinder...may have to scrap the vehicle, 138k miles on it but aint puttin boocooo$$$ in it. dont think there is room to extrack it.

ich habe solche problem probiere deine metode

Due to the many unforeseen circumstances in the repairing of automobiles we can only estimate, not guarantee a completion time.

Where did u get the tool at I need one

My funny hero😂

Do you have the link for the 4 sided easy out that you showed in the beginning of the video @ 2:06 ?

Can someone answer my question ? I have a spark plug with stripe threads you can tight it and it won't back out ... Answer Please ...

My whole spark plug is still in tack just get the socket on it to get it to come out it's just spins the nut to get the spark plug out is rounded any help

Did you heat the extractor tool? It looks like it had heat marking on it. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Where did you get tool???

Thank you GOD for creating me into a MEXICAN from dust ...HELL YEAH!!!

F ngk broke on me its all the same 😢

Nice rant

I have a spark plug that broke in my 03 centra half the thread is still in the block I already tried the extractor tool with the spirals no luck I’m going to try this one what do you think? I’m in so much needed help

How do you keep the porcelain pieces from falling out the opposite end of the plug into the engine?

What do you recommend if the center of the spark plug broke off with the threads? Should I drill into the hard center or try to tap it through? I am pretty stuck now

Just had this issue with an ngk

what size of easy out u using?

What is the adapter you use called

Had this happen with ngks.

pls send link to buy tools

This happened to my 04 Ford Focus and I’m so upset about it, putting car in shop I guess ehehe

What did u use on the end of the ez that fits on a ratchet?

How did you break the other half off in order to get the easy off on it? I'm asking because this happend to me the other day and I was fucked. I didn't even know this tool exsisted.

I've never had this problem until some jackass put loctite on a 2018 Ford Edge. Dealership wanted to sell me a new motor. Hell no.

Merci beaucoup

Instead of complaining it would be better if you show the spark plug inside the head and removing it it’s easy to talk about it after buddy

Where can I get this tool or Kit?

Where can I find this tool

Me watching this video after I already made it worse than it was before

whats the kit name? Any link?

I just had a ngk break off on me

I'm on day fucking 4 trying to get the threads out of my head on my 1.6l Fusion.

haha real talk brother

Everything was going well until I got to the last bolt

Dude relax, you got the fckng thing out.

You said you’d tell the customer it’s a 2k repair. Well, If the customer brought his vehicle to your shop and you broke the spark plug, the repair is on you.

For this Mexican car lol

Should of been a parts guy ... Goldwrench

new cars DO suck.

fuck my ngk just broke

Wasnt this how to remove a spark plug? I don’t need to know your stance on Nissan’s.

I loved Nissan until they were bought by Renault, biggest mistake!

American cars suck too.

All of that talking about nothing

Didn't show how to do it, only talking 👎

This is a horrible video you break customer buys i womt likeand subscribe

I also get this problem, same as your video. It's 2014 ford escape ecoboost 1.6L. Can i also use this tool?🥲

How do you suggest I do this process if the threads have permanent high heat thread lock on them?
