Hi Serious Exploration People. Please help.
I have commited a sin, serious mistake, or bone-headed move. In an attempt to change a spark plug I have totally rounded the the thing. I didn't realize how rusted-on and siezed the thing was when I first gave it a try and now I'm in this situation.
I have been drenching the spark plug with PB Blaster.
I tried using a rubber band around the plug to fill the gap and make it sticky.
I have chipped away a good amount of rust that had fused to the spark plug, but still can't see a gap all the way around it.
The porcelain is broken, most all of it gone now.
I can't just drill it through the center like some silly 'ol bolt, can I?
ANY ideas will be welcome.
Please help.
Thanks, Ken
