Hey guys,
my mechanic (my uncle) changing the spark plugs today on my 03 ford ba 5.4l 3 valve noticed that the spark plugs had never been changed.... anyway long story short the second spark plug broke in..  What is the easiest way to get this out without taking the heads off... which will cost an arm and a leg..???? |

As much as I has to say go directly to ford if u think the worst because better get the job done right instead of f**k them up... I can't drive me baby or a week... I had to put the broken spark plug back in and drive it home.. Running on 7... And f**k it feel so s**t.
Get them changed guys and stop fearing for the worse coz if they r going to break they will break if u do them now or later. Learn from my misfortune...

just giving u an update my car is back a day early and all fixed and running a F load better than b4... 7 sparkies broke and cost me 770 for them to b removed.. i suggest get ur plugs out asap incase the same s**t happens to you.... and if it does... go on ebay and buy the spark plug tool... same thing ford uses for only around $88.
but hey if u get it done now... soon then you won't have to stress good luck guys =D |
