It's too late now, but I'm certain your problem is a combination of:
1) no thread lubrication on initial install.
2) overtorqued.
3) removing them from a hot engine. Never remove plugs out of a hot aluminum cylinder head. As the heads heat up, they expand making the spark plug hole SMALLER.
Hope you get her together o.k. |
Yea.... the prior thread, everyone was saying to heat it up and it would help... so who knows, it was a 50/50 shot... it really was irrelavant if I heated it up or not, it barely took any pressure for it to snap making me feel like it was weakened prior to trying to pull them out...
