I have a 4 cylinder mazda 626 and I'm trying to change out my spark plugs. Although I managed to get the two outer plugs out, I can't get the inner two passed about half-way.

any tips on removing them? I've tried wd-40, but that didn't do a damn thing.

i'm thinking of calling AAA to come out and do it for me, unless you think I can run the car on two plugs to the nearest garage.

oh yeah... and I cracked the ceramic trying to remove the two stubborn spark plugs so I don't think I can just screw those two back in.

get a friend to take you to the store.

You need to practically load up those two plugs with WD40 or PB B'laster. Let 'em soak for a few minutes, and then screw them back in. Let sit a minute or two, and unscrew again. See if they'll go a little further GENTLY so as not to mess up threads.

Where the hell you at, anyway?

whatever you do, don't just force them out. that will mess up the threads and cause more problems than you want to deal with.

Sounds like your sparkplugs and pregnant women have something in common...
