Spark plug help

[ISU-152]

Sounds like the PO used lock tight. Have never heard a story like this one

There are spark plug retread kits available

Alright guys here's an update. I successfully got both of those spark plugs out. No rethreading or anything like that and I made sure no metal shavings. So a disaster was avoided.

Ok but why was one spinning and not coming out? What part of the plug was spinning? Also, I hope you (sparingly) used antiseize to install the new ones?

So what ended up happening is that when I tried to remove the one. The actual nut on the spark plug broke off from the metal.So the porcelain part was just turning inside of the spark plug.But mean while the threaded part was still. So I ended up just pulling and twisting it off,blowing out the bottom half of the porcelain then getting the bottom threaded part out.

Did you reinstalled and run it yet? When I removed my intake manifold? Acorns and crap fell into the ports from a mouse nest. I ended up using a tube and vaccume to clean out the ports.

I reinstalled them but haven't had a chance to run it. I've been a little paranoid on the whole metal shavings thing. I ran the engine once to try and flush it out. But she didn't like missing two plugs so that didn't last long. I ended up using a PC can duster to blow it out. No shavings came out and even dipping the little end piece I wasn't bringing up anything shiny. I would totally vacuum it out but I'm clueless on what I could use to get it in the hole.

3/8 hose should fit. Just tape of the end to create a good seal. If you already ran it if there was something in there it may already be gone
