Snaped a spark plug. How to remove? Sign In

Trying to change a plug in a 20 year old suburban.
Must have rusted solid. We snapped it off.

How do we remove the rusted base without losing ceramic or metal into the cylinder?

Don't know exactly how this is broken but probably the hex broke and should have left perhaps just the threads in the hole. A screw extractor can usually get them out but location is tricky depending on which one.

You may want to seek out some pro help. This can snowball into lots of work if things go wrong, Good luck, T
