Default 5.4l 3v Broken Spark Plug Removal Method

So yes I am following the method Lisle spells out but with the tips I have learned over the years from using this tool so much. With my video I got you in as close as possible to really see what the process is so you can see someone else do it first before you attempt it so you can have a successful extraction plug after plug. I really hope this helps as many really shy away from this kind of stuff.

Unfortunately we are starting to see more an more broken plugs that are very difficult to extract and require alternate methods including drill bits etc. One day I will do a video on the methods I have found works every time and so far have never had to pull a head due to stuck plug issues even the lisle tool can't pull.

The first time I did a plug change on my truck only one broke and it was very easy to get it out with the Lisle tool. I hope I do not have any issues like this next time around but if I do I am glad that I have some ideas on how to get the problem resolved.
