i am changing the spark plugs in my 2004 5.4. i have unscrewed the spark plugs but i can not get them out,is there something i am missing here. i exposed the plugs, i used i think a normal 9-16 deep socket. the have loosened the plugs to the point they are spinning freely, i didnt break any of them (i got the engine hot and used a penetrating agent). but now the plugs seem to be stuck in the engine. i thought maybe i wasnt truly loosing them but i was able to reverse rotation on the socket to tighten them back down, so obviously they are spinning. i went out and got long needle nose and put them down and grabbed the plugs but it seems like the plugs do NOT want to pull out NOT EVEN A BUDGE and i have a firm grip on them.
Guys i thought if i didnt break them i won the war! it seems it has just begun!
