Hey there yesterday i went to do a little tune up, timing belt/spark plugs, coils, wires, and oil change, and well every thing went fine except for one spark plug, it refuses to come out, it turns just the smallest amount but much harder than the other 3. I really dont want to strip the threads on my head, does anyone have any suggestions on what i should try to get it out.

Thanks, Adam
 
If you do not plan on running the motor until you get the plug out, you can take some PB Blaster and spray it down it the hole. Do not spray and then attach plug wire and try and run the car it will likely start to miss fire, but do this right after the motor was shut off and up to temp. Let it sit overnight and see if that helps at all.
 
ill give it a shot thanks, wont matter that it gets to -25c at night tho eh? (seeing as it will get cold eventually over night)
 
look on the can of pb blast, it should say the temp that it can work in. if not overnight then warm the car up shut it off spray it and leave it in there for maybe an hour and then try? i doubt the spark plug holes will get below freezing in an hour.
