I am in a world of *****! i was in the process of changing the plugs on my EB falcon 6 when i tried to take out number 5 i wouldn't budge, so i got a long bar and put pressure on it and it snapped off flush with the head! To make matters worse, i tried a screw extractor to remove the plug thread and now that has snapped off in the head! Any Ideas? I think i might have to remove the head and take it out for the inside!
that is the last time that i try to save money by servicing the car myself! |

The screw extractors are made of a very hard steel so you will have bucklys chance of getting it out yourself. Call around a few engine builders and explain the situation. They should be able to get it out and put in a helicoil for you for $40-60. To do properly with the head still on the block you would need a jig to hold everything at the right angles, etc.
Use the phone and call around. |
