Why does ford not like me????

[leebo]

I'm not sure but I'm not getting any help when I work on my explorer as of late. As I was changing my plugs today to a new set of bosch #4 I came across one on the passenger side that wouldn't come loose. I tried to go under the wheelwell and nothing worked, and to make matters worse the spark plug busted right in half. If anybody has and suggestions on how to get the plug off please help me.....please help before I half to go to the dealer.

Leebo,

Did it break before or after the "Nut" on the spark plug? I mean is there still the nut part for a socket to grab onto? If you do, it takes a little work because that spark plug is hard to get to. If the nut part is broken off, you'll have to have the plug taped out. Odds are, if it needs to be taped out, you'll need to pull the head off because you wouldn't want metal fragments in the piston housing area.

Does anyone else have ideas for him?

Well.....i've never removed the heads before...but what the heck.....if I can screw up the spark plugs I'm sure I can screw up the heads too.....It's worth a try
