Bogof Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 just snapped spark plug in housing now dont no what to do the thred is still in but nut came out any help totaly pissed off Find someone with a screw extractor, or buy a set in Screwfix. Soak the remaining plug with WD40 overnight. Drill the centre of the plug, insert screw extractor. Unscrew plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 What bike is it?If possible I think you would be best to remove the head. If you drill the remains you could get swarfe down inside onto the piston where it could do a bit of damage. Screw extractor of the correct size is probably the best option.....but take it real easy, you don't want to damage the head or the plug threads.Just a note of caution...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decor58 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not quite sure how far you need to drill in to use a screw extractor but could you just drill half way so that you don't get anything going onto the piston?Ideally though I'd agree with Tango, take the head off just to make sure nothing unwanted gets in.

Martyc Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Sometimes you can tap a torx into it and get it out that way. Try plusgas as a releasing agent it's amazing stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadtorque Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Remove the head, drill the plug about 3/8 bit, poke a length of rod down the plug, braze the rod to the plug, braze a nut to tother end, & good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
