Default Need help ASAP with plugs help!!

Followed every tip and trick regarding the plug change and they all broke except one!I used the Leslie tool and extracted all but two.After I push the porcelain and set up the back tap the threads pull through the cup when you start to tighten the nut!!Know there is nothing to bite into should I get the Snap On extractor with the tap or any suggestions of by the way this is retarded!!!!

The Lisle tool should work, I don't know if the Snap on will help...

Take your time and try again, be brave and push the porcelain deep into the bottom, hopefully the metal bridge at the bottom is still strong enough to stop it falling through

then slowly and consistently wind the threaded section all the way in.....spray more WD40 inthere, the cylinder will live with that once it fires up!

Its a pain in the *** job but can be done!

Ford knew better. Honestly they had this problem on the prototypes and put it into production knowing. Sad really. Pretty much shows job #1 was job #1001
