Once the early style plugs have been changed to the later style then no, it is no longer a problem to remove them again; at least from a "break off" point of view.

Hey guys, I just talked to the parts guy at the dealership and he said he has the penetrating fluid that I need. He seemed concerned about the Lisle tool in that it pushes the porcelin part down into the cylinder. I am just wondering what the likelyhood is that a piece of porcelin could break off and fall into the cylinder.
Anyone?
