I never understood why folks don't use anti sieze in the first place.. Saves allot of trouble down the line..

Great Job on avoiding the head removal.

Because removing them while hot didn't work.

Heating, then letting them cool down is what worked.

this is what happens when you dont pull your plugs ever, i pull mine at every oil change. or more if i'm working on the engine,(its easier to top dead it out) when your not fighting the compression.

So which is it? Did you heat it or not? Apparently you did.
