Default Spark Plug Help!!

Ok, the first 6 came out no problem. This what happened to number 7. The plug is fully intact still in the head. I am assuming that the plug is just stuck since the metal casing with threads came out. How would I remove the plug? Any ideas will be appreciated. I've been soaking the plug hoping it will eventually break free. I also tried long nose needle pliers to no avail.

A very common problem with the 3v cars (and trucks). A few tool companies make a tool to extract the broken plug. I am sure you can find lots of write ups about it on different forums. When you go back with the new plugs, make sure you use one of the new 1pc plugs so you don't have the same problem next time.

LOL. Well it did break! The tools they had didn't help with what I had. Only if the plug broke in half. I'll get the kit from my buddy tomorrow since is has broke in half now.

Pull the intake and use an air hose to try to pressurize the cylinder and blow it out? Probably put a magnet on it for safe keeping.
