Where did I say I heated the complete plug?
I heated the broken plug and let it cool, then soaked with PB, as per a different forum suggested by folks who successfully extracted broken plugs.
Here is exactly what I said.
So all in all, it went well.
1) Break em off.
2) Start engine to blow porcelain out.
3) Heat with torch.
4) Let it cool down.
5) Soak with PB and let it sit for 15 minutes or so.
6) Big ***** easy out, 1/2 drive extension, 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch adapter and large crescent wrench and cheater pipe.
7) A friend to help.
8) Check area for ears that may be offended by yelling, swearing, and general grumpiness.
9) Copper never seize on new plugs.
