I've had 2 set of NGK's that have failed on me. Different times, different cars. In both cases they were the stock NGK's that came installed in the cars straight from the factory. In both of those cases the center electrode fell out on one of the 4 plugs. The first 2 sets of NGK's that failed on me (electrode falling out) it was within the 60K mile service interval. The plugs are supposedly good through 100,000 miles but my car maintenance manual says to change them out at 60K miles so that's what I was doing when I discovered the separated electrodes. Actually in the 2nd case I was just under 60k miles when I seemed to loose one of the cylinders on my 4-banger while I was out on the road. Had to drive back home about 3.5 miles running on just 3 cylinders, immediately upon arriving home I checked the plugs suspecting that I would find another failed plug just like I had in the other car ans sure enough, the dead cylinder was due to several causes, #1 being the detached electrode but #2 due to the fact that the plug had also worked its way loose so when I went to remove it, I didn't even need the socket wrench to turn it, i was able to finish turning it by hand with just the socket and socket extension. Upon close inspection I noticed that the crush washer was not crushed but still rounded and there was wxcessice carbon build on the upper part of the threads which there should not be, meaning that the carbon was making its way up there because the plug was not properly installed from the factory in that it was not fully tightened as it should be which is why the crush washer was not flattened like it would be had the plug been screwed in all the way. How much this played in to the electrode failure I don't know. Perhaps extra heat making its way from the combustion chamber to the upper plug area was a factor? Improperly installed plug aside, rhe manufacturer was right about changing out the plugs at 60K and not waiting until 100K like NGK suggests. The other plugs which were properly installed were still intact but the ingiting tips were very worn and very much thinned out to the point of looking questionable, so definitely would not have wanted to run those for another 40K miles to reach 100K. I've read elsewhere that NGK has shifted some plug production to China so perhaps that has been a factor in quality control? It's possible. I think NGK are still good plugs but just something to keep an eye on and be aware of. In retrospect, after seeing what I have seen of these laser cut, iridium plugs, I start changing out NGK plugs at 50k miles in the future to avoid potential issues that I already ran in to at 60k miles.
These will work for ACDelco sparkplugs right? (broke off one, its been sitting in the trucks engine for probably about 30 years, was tryna do a revival of a 60s C30)
That's why they recommend to do a tune-up every 20,000 - 30,000 miles. (Which is what I'm gonna do from now on.) You do NOT have to change a set of 100,000 mile plugs, if that's what yhe manufacturer days they are good for. All you need to do during the tune-up at 30,000 miles is just pull them out, check their state, and put them back in. This will clean the thread, and will act like a brand new installation on it.
I have a 2005 linclon town car snd the "hex nut" that surrounds the spark plug broke off from around the outside of the spatk plug and is stuck inside of the spark plug ratchet. The plug is still inside the cylinder tho & the porcelin is intact. How could i get it out? Do i need to break it? I have no idea how to get it out.
I've never seen that one yet but, if you decide to break it you have to make sure pieces don't go into the cylinder this is where a camera comes in handy to go down in there and inspect. Also an air compressor to blow out the cylinder
I guess I can do the same for my Jimmy...I have a 2005 GMC Jimmy and that happen to me yesterday ( October 20th 2021)So I came to be saved on TH-cam...which tool should I try first...I don't think it's on tight. The others before were ok...I think they are just burnt and worn and so on and so forth...
today i am here too. i was having a good day till sht like this happpend, the machanic said to me I shld take out the top for engineering lol. thank god i now have a solution. can't wait for tomorrow can't even sleep
I just broke off an NGK plug today. Of course it was pretty old and took a serious amount of torque before it went. Probably original 23 year old plugs.
I have a spark plug that broke in my 03 centra half the thread is still in the block I already tried the extractor tool with the spirals no luck I’m going to try this one what do you think? I’m in so much needed help
What do you recommend if the center of the spark plug broke off with the threads? Should I drill into the hard center or try to tap it through? I am pretty stuck now
Whatever you do try not to get anything to fall into the cylinder , if you do drill into the center don't go through all the way and try to use the extractor
@@Chris-A-h3t Thanks for the reply. Good news is I have a pretty long spark plug so I have some room to drill. Bad news is it is titanium core and ceramic so will be pretty hard to drill.
I have broken flat seal plug and the tightness is still there, if I use an easy out it will take too much torque. I plan on drilling the head part down to relieve the pressure then maybe the thread part by itself will turn out. I'm going to put silicone in the hole before I start drilling to catch shavings.
@@michaelszczys8316 never thought of that silicone idea I just put a vacuum in every so often and then bore scoped the cylinder head after I got it out to make sure I got all the FOD
You need to try to apply upward pressure at the same time while you're backing it out to get the good threads to engage, hope this helps please like And subscribe
You can try to use a very strong Shop-Vac if all else fails compressed air into the cylinder after you're done with the job you will hear anything in there if it's still in there
@@Chris-A-h3t yes I think I have the worst car possible for this. 2003 Toyota Camry 4cyl. The plug goes straight down through the valve cover and the holes in the valve cover are about the size of a golf ball. I changed 3 of them and the car is running fine. I'm going to take the valve cover off when I get the chance and see if that helps. I actually think this was a factory screw up. The plugs are suppose to be changed at 110-120k miles. I bought the car with 160k miles on it and the plugs I took out looked like they had more than 40k miles on them. I'm thinking they were the original plugs. The plug isn't broke or cracked it's missing the hex head the socket goes over. Looks like it twisted off and now there's only a thin round ring of metal left there. The part missing wasn't down in the hole so someone knew they did it. It's a factory Denso plug also
@@LH-kz2nf this might be a lot more work but you can take the exhaust manifold off and time the engine right for the exhaust valve to open and use compressed air to give it back pressure up the hole of the spark plug
@@Chris-A-h3t I didn't think about that. I had thought about getting it at TDC on the compression stroke where the valves are closed. Then after taking the plug out taking the hose from my compression tester kit that screws into the spark plug hole and attaching it my shop-vac. You wouldn't believe the luck I started having about 2 yrs ago. Now if anything can go wrong it will. I would hate to break the manifold bolts off or crack the catalytic converter that's made into the manifold. Someone actually makes an extractor tool just for this but part of the procedure is where you use the tool to push the porcelain center down toward the piston. One video the guy used a vac to get pieces out but he acted like it wasn't a big deal if he didn't get all of it out.
My whole spark plug is still in tack just get the socket on it to get it to come out it's just spins the nut to get the spark plug out is rounded any help
The reason your plugs keep breaking is you put anti seize on the threads. You simply overtorque them with the grease on there. It happens over and over again. Look it up.
I have been oiling up my wheel lugs since I was a young boy, never any problems, also never any ' frozen ' rusted lugs either. I found out to never use ' anti seize ' on wheel lugs as when I tried that it seemed as if you could tighten them up until they ripped right off. Use caution, only use it on things you don't tighten that much. I can see that happening to spark plugs, helps you way over- torque them.
How did you break the other half off in order to get the easy off on it? I'm asking because this happend to me the other day and I was fucked. I didn't even know this tool exsisted.
just snapped an ngk with 60k miles on it , 4l explorer, # 3 cylinder...may have to scrap the vehicle, 138k miles on it but aint puttin boocooo$$$ in it. dont think there is room to extrack it.
sorry, my mistake!~ NGK going in, i broke a champion! going to try the 3/8th inch 4 fluted extractor. have already welded an 11mm to it.....spraying with PB and giving it a few days to saok in....taking my time..wink, wish me luck.
GOT IT!!!! 3/8th inch proto 4 flute extractor, lots of PB blaster, 1 click at a time with my 1/2 inch drive!!! I decided to drill open the broken stub of the plug in the head to 3/8 inch so tool would go down far , less likely to break. THANK YOU!!! it can be done!

Funny you said that, I just recently had an NGK that did the same thing, it was a newer plug. I'm wondering if quality control went to s*** because of Coronavirus
Mine were old as hell i believe they were cross threaded in my previous owner whole driver side was a bitch all but one broke only one broke off in head where i couldn't get it out
You said you’d tell the customer it’s a 2k repair. Well, If the customer brought his vehicle to your shop and you broke the spark plug, the repair is on you.
Not how it works buddy, clearly you’ve never been in the business of repairing things. If a house has térmites and while your king on it it falls apart you’re telling you fix the house for free??

I'm on day fucking 4 trying to get the threads out of my head on my 1.6l Fusion.
I bought the straight flute extractor and it ate the blades. Screw type strips the sockets, even an impact style
You ever get it out.
@Westley Bairefoot Yes, I kept hammering on the straight flute to make it super tight in there, and it was able to grab onto it. Never felt more liberated in my life.
@@Logan45499 was there an anode left or any porcelain? Flute or spiral extractor won’t bite
@@westleybairefoot1199 It was just the threads in the head
Dude relax, you got the fckng thing out.
new cars DO suck.
Wasnt this how to remove a spark plug? I don’t need to know your stance on Nissan’s.
U sound like my ex girlfriend always complaining about everything, O and it's called freedom of speech it's how we roll in the USA ! We're not soft pansy's. Hahaha
@@Chris-A-h3t Ngl I agree with him I kept skipping through the vid but got nothing lol
I loved Nissan until they were bought by Renault, biggest mistake!
Should of been a parts guy ... Goldwrench
fuck my ngk just broke
they mde the part u screw off weak
American cars suck too.
Yes they do ,they're even worse
All of that talking about nothing
I'm glad you like the video!
Didn't show how to do it, only talking 👎
Other people in the comments have achieved success with flying stars don't know what to tell you, maybe you should start with learning basic mechanical skills
This is a horrible video you break customer buys i womt likeand subscribe
That's not how it works. This stuff happens all the time in the shop it's part of working on cars. Just ask any mechanic
I also get this problem, same as your video. It's 2014 ford escape ecoboost 1.6L. Can i also use this tool?🥲
Yes
@@Chris-A-h3t Ok thanks for your reply, I'll go buy this tool. I can see that the upper part is concave downward, and the thread of the upper part is a little damaged, I don't know if it will work.Hope it well.
@@Chris-A-h3t Sir, i just found there is thread Insert inside, and the thread head of spark plug is under. Do you have any idea take thread insert first?
@@Chris-A-h3t Good news,i took it out.I tried use electric drive, forward and backward always. And as you said be patient. Thank you sooooo much. Really.I used right tools. God bless you.
How do you suggest I do this process if the threads have permanent high heat thread lock on them?
Permanent threadlocker is only disassembled by heat so you need to get a torch or probably better a heat induction gun down in there to get them out
