Re: ever break spark plug during changing
i have broken the ceramic on many in my lifetime ( damn i'm old ) . if you'r changing them , no sweat . if you'r going to clean , re-gap , test & re-install . o.k. thats different , today most just re-place . if plugs are covered with dirt , clean , spray with wd-40 or what ever . i normally clean/spray them down a day or two before changing & then before i try to remove . install new plugs with care not to crack ceramic . has worked for me all these years . good luck .

Hello joekaz1070!!
Once you get them out, don't crank the crap out of them putting them in either (use the proper torque value, 22 ft lbs), makes it easier to get them out the next time!!
Use a "little" bit of anti-seize on them too!!
