Default woohoo broken plug!!!!

so just to end the day of crap......went to take the first plug out...and SNAP! go f*ckin figure! so first....ordered new coils from summit...get 7 of the ones i wanted...and the 8th...not so much........then didnt realize that i didnt have a 9/16th sparkplug socket....seriously...why an odd size.....soaked the plugs for 3 hrs.....so figured hell this should be easy...not to mention only got 54k on the truck......put some jazz music on...dont ask....and lets get to it.....ugh....what a day

so to the important question....how hard are these tools to use to extract the broken piece? has anyone used the one through napa? sounds just like an easy out after insulator is moved outta the way....well...wish me luck....

I broke 7/8 of my plugs and had to use the tool to push down 4 of the ceramic pieces. Make sure you have a shop vac or air hose handy. I used the kit from CarQuest which is about the same as Napa's and it worked fine. Easy once you do one. Took me about 6 hours in total to do it all.
