Yea i hear you but i doubt honda will want to be responsible for breaking the spark plug. I heard to run the car for a while so it can heat up and then come out but that didnt work

Alrite guys i got them out. There were two bad ones. I never thought i can spray anything into where the spark plug goes but the guy at autozone said i can spray this spray called Freeze-off and it worked. It just took a long time and patience.I just hope all that stuff i sprayed doesnt mess up the engine

Put some anti-seize on when you install new plugs.

when the plug finally came out did it look like it took some thread material with it, or was it fairly clean?

If you buy your plugs at Autozone, they have little packets of antiseize behind the counter.

We're supposed to offer antiseize to people when they buy spark plugs, but people always say they have some at home. $1.19 plus tax is definitely worth not having your plug stick.

It shouldn't mess up the engine, if it got in it'll just burn away.
