So you broke it off so there is nothing for a wrench to get on?


What kind of car?

I think it's called an "Easy Out"

If I remember correctly they come in various sizes. Basically it has course reversed threads that expand quickly so that it digs into the stuck bolt or in this case plug. once it digs in and sticks it will hopefully loosen the plug. They are sold in REAL auto parts stores here where I live, but not at places like autozone etc. Spend some time on the phone with you local auto parts stores, they should know of a solution. Best of luck to ya!

Ouch!..



Be careful when plucking it out.. you dont want any metal fallin inside your engine....Taking off the cylinder head might be the safest.

Nex time use some of that antisieze stuff on your plugs, especially if you have aluminum heads.

Good luck wrag, i hope you fix it fast and cheap!

84 toyota 22R

Aluminum Head :(

Broken off clean right at the head.  No hex head to put the socket on.

Ceramic material is still in the remaining portion of the head.

Remove the head, and then use and easyout...or if you have a borescope you can leave the head on... just make sure you do not drop any peices in the cylinder... other wise the head has to come off...

Pull the head and take it to a machine shop and let them do it. You could very easily **** it up far more since it is aluminum.

At least getting the head off should not be to much of a hassle on those motors.

First off what kind of car is it? If its brand new and is worth what you're going to put in it by bringing it some place to have them pull the  head off then yeah, bring it to someone.

Otherwise I'd take an easy out to it and then once I had it out, blow out the cylinder and be done with it.

Perfect example of why you should always use never seize.

remove the head on the 22R it's easy work and you will be safe.  while it's off see to the valves.  while the valves are being done might as well rebuild it completely.  oh hell, go get a new a car already ya cheap bastige.

that kind of thing I would just leave alone.  put some bondo in there to cover up the hole and forget it.  and cut off that extra wire so it looks neat.

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I find out that using Champion, Denso, or Boshce sparkplugs in a Toyota 22R engine is a BAD IDEA!

The plug that broke off was a Denso.

Something about a slightly off thread patteren?
