Recently while replacing Spark Plugs on a Ford F-150, I had two of them brake off, leaving the threads down in the bore in the cylinder. Removing them is not an easy task. Thankfully this type of thing doesn't happen too often. We had to use several tools and some penetrating oil and a lot of patience, we succeeded at getting them removed. Hope our technique will help you if you find yourself in this same situation.

Thank you for this. I just went to five stores in town looking for a long tap piece, while asking can I just jam a socket extension on it, a resounding no from everyone. Then I see this video and you did exactly what I was thinking. Thank you.

For those who aren’t catching the name of what he’s using, it’s a stud extractor. It’s four-sided, and secured into a socket. I’m still trying to find out how to not get porcelain chips into the cylinder, as my plug just plain broke outright! According to others here on the comments, it is impossible to avoid, unfortunately. As far as using a vacuum cleaner goes, I plan on using a cornering tool, then inserting a drinking straw into the tool, and sealing it with some kind of tape (duct tape, most likely?). THANKFULLY, I have a camera tool to check for debris in the cylinder! Best $120 I’ve spent in quite a while! Well worth the investment, in case you’re wondering. Now to get that penetrating oil in there… I dread thinking about if the rear plugs in my Town & Country refuse to come out properly. :-/

@minthillbilly

Try vacuuming it out. Tape a smaller piece or tubing to your shop vac and see if that will suck it out. Worth a try

@elizabethb4830 5 лет назад
Any recommendations on how to remove the porcelain without it falling into the engine? The porcelain is preventing the extractor from gripping the plug.
@celyl
@celyl 4 года назад
I was told; there is no way around it. Particles will fall into the cylinder. Stick a small tube in there attached to a vacuum cleaner and or blow it out with a compressor. Do it a number of times, get as much out as possible. Send in a probe camera to checkout remaining bits. Blow it out some more. The rest will blow out the exhaust valve, hopefully. Good luck.
@MicahFunk

Can additionally use a vacuum connected to a hose in an attempt to suck up debris. But use an inspection camera in the cylinder to check for anything remaining.
