stuck plug fix??
I think this may help some peeps. with the stuck plug electrode in the head.
is the pocelin part or the medal part in the head still? I have a tool that I think can save some time if it's just the medal part. I've got some small mechanical fingers that will fit down inside the hole then when almost to the bottom of the electrode, open the fingers, wrap around the bottom, and release the plunger, then lift up on the plunger pulling the electrode up out of the hole.
another option would be to push thin rope into the hole filling it up (the same way you'd do valve stem seal replacement) after the hole is filled up, then you roll the motor over and the rope hits the bottom of the electrode pushing it out of the head.
