Broken Plug - SP547
Alright, I知 sure you致e had to extract a broken plug (or 8) at some point. I知 aware of the Lisle tool and I think I follow directions pretty well. However, the videos demonstrating how to extract the broken plugs all have plugs with ceramic inside the metal sleeve. For my situation, when I pulled the plug, the ceramic was still intact, but the metal sleeve was wedged down in the head.
im assuming the Lisle extraction tool uses the ceramic material to thread into, which offers a good grip when extracting the broke plug. Since all there is in my situation is the metal sleeve I知 not sure how I値l catch on when trying to extract the plug.
I literally don稚 know any other options to remove this **** thing, other than pulling the heads. So please, experts tap in!! Thank you

When my plugs broke the metal was in the head, and the ceramic came out intact. The Lisle tool worked just fine to get the metal out. Do your plug(s) look like these?

Oh, then yours broke differently than mine did. IIRC there wasn't any ceramic left inside, just the metal piece that you see to the left in the pictures. That is what the tool pulled out. Ouch.

I am Looking At the Ford TSB Mode 1 Instructions Using The Ford Tool and it Seems to Me That is Exactly The Situation You Have??? I Crossed Out Any Mode 2 or Mode 3 Instructions.
That's My Two Cents Worth a Look!

Congratulations on your newborn baby boy and also on removing the broken spark plugs with the OEMTOOLS spark plug removal kit from Auto Zone... In the meantime, thank you for providing us with the removal kit from Auto Zone, as it will indeed become very valuable as another option for removing broken spark plugs in addition to the Lisle broken spark and OTC broken spark plug removal kits...
There was also no doubt about the success you experienced by following the Ford TSB spark plug extraction procedure, as it does indeed work like a charm..
