ohhh sh*t wait, its not loose yet, is it??

 

exactly

 

Buddy,

At this point you should have taken it to a mechanic awile back.

The Deep socket you have is not deep enough.

Should close to 3".

You have three choices:

1) Find a way to wiggle the socket back and forth until it releases its grip on the plug. A really small socket might go through the hex drive hole and with an extension you can pry it around. Or get a slide hammer (Body work Tool) with a hook on it and try to pull the socket off.

2). Use a punch through the top of the socket to break / smash the plug until the extension will fit the socket. Then wiggle it back and forth until it comes off of the plug.

3) Take the car to a mechanic - even if it has to be towed

Then buy some tools, at least Sears Craftsman quality. Cheap tools have thick socket walls that make them impossible to use in tight spots, like a deep sparkplug well.

This is an expensive car to learn on, better off letting someone else do this work until you get the tools and the skills.

Best of luck

always change it when the engine is cold metal expands and you could monkey fu** it out of place
