Like hatch said, PB Blaster is your friend.
next day after hosing it down, try again, but no breaker bar

No fun stripping the threads out.

If its still dont budge, run the car just long enough to warm the head,
try again. Still no go-- borrow an impact wrench, as those are less
likely to strip threads or bust the plug than using that extra
bit of pipe slipped over the socketwrench :wink:

Yep, then when you put the new ones in, give them a nice coat of anti-sieze so you don't have the same problem next time.

Anti-Seize, what would be the brand name for this product, i have to put four new sparkplugs in after i do a compression test anyways and i might as well do this whole thing right.

Perma tex makes some anti-seize.

Allright thanks, better to know what im looking for than having to ask one of those canadian tire monkeys to find it.
