'04 FX4 plug issue
While changing the plugs on my FX4, I have stubborn plug that stayed but the threaded ring came out. Anyone have any clever tricks for removing the whole ceramic piece? Any help would be appreciated!

There is a TSB on this. There is a tool that you can use to remove the plug if it broke. check this sticky thread out: https://www.f150forum.com/f4/5-4l-3v...09-07-a-56871/

Unfortunately it didn't break, just the full ceramic piece with bottom metal ring stuck. I have the plug remover but it is only good if the plug is broken, not sure how to remove the full piece?

I had this happen to me this weekend also. I just took a long flat head screw driver and "GENTLY" leveraged the electrode of the plug inside the cavity and broke it in half. Didn't take any effort at all. Then I grabbed it with my pliers, set it aside, and proceeded with the Lisle tool.
Hope this helps
