So I was putting in some new plugs. I was on the last one and while I was tightening it, I heard a snap. Tried to take it out, but some how the threaded part and the electrode broke off and is stuck down there. There's no solid piece that I can use an ez out on, so I have no damn idea how to take it out.





The part that is outlined in red:

dont remeber right off the top of my head..take the plug and look for one that would fit sung right about the half way mark..
Ive done this twice on 2 different customers cars...both integras

Anyway you can find out? If not, I'll be heading to store tomorrow and see what I can find.

u need to use anti-seize next time and dont over torque them.

yea a screw extractor is a cheap way to go but taking off the head is better.

Same thing happened to me bro, i whent to autozone and bought the ez-out tool set.
20$ fix, make sure you spray some wd40 on the broken part of the spark plug.

a lil smoke will come out your exhaust on start up so dont worry.

Only a screw extractor will work here I think since it's hollow. I just cut apart an extra spark plug to take to the store tomorrow to find the right size.

This is pretty much what's stuck in there still:
