Hey guys I'm really hoping someone has a good answer for me here. I have a 2004 5.4L F150 that I just bought with 106k miles. It started to misfire at low rpm's doing about 55 which to me meant spark plugs. I changed 7 plugs successfully using the Leslie remover tool. Unfortunately the passenger rear most plug snapped and I am unable use the Leslie tool as the threads I made on the spark plug tip have stripped out. I heard the coat hanger idea might work then I could take the porcelain that remains out and give it a shot. I'm real desperate I do not want to take this thing to a dealer for some silly maintenance. what kind of epoxy should I use if I attempt it.?

Wow, sound like my same exact situation. I was able to get out 7 without any issues then the 2nd spark plug on the passenger side broke on me and the Lisle tool didn't work for me.

I gave up and had the dealer take care of it. While my truck was there, I just had them do all of the 90K miles maintenance things; oil change, tranny flush, new transfer case and rear end fluid change, fuel filter, drive belt and the spark plug removal and putting in the new plugs. Final cost $990. FYI, I went with Champion plugs because I don't ever want to deal with it.
