Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.

well ive had my fair share in removing broken and busted studs, fittings, plugs and every thing else you could think of, yes easy outs are the go, however dont go the normal ones as these are generally very tapered so before you can get a decent enough bite the hole has to be fairly deep and you will run the risk of breaking through the hole and swarf getting into the cylinder. there are a few sets available that have a more mild taper these are snap on but im sure once you know what your looking for you should get hold of some easy enough but like mentioned before be prepared to shell out a bit for them. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....&group_ID=1262
also there is a product by loctite called freeze and release that will be helpfull before you attempt to remove it, ive had alot of sucess using this method. http://www.loctitefreezeandrelease.com/

Hi all!
In this case our mechanics use these things.
or
take a strong metal stick (I dislike this word in this case, but I can't find proper word to explain it),then sharpen it for triangle conical shape. When engine is hot, carefully bang down into the hole of broken glow plug and carefully unscrew it. Also I think not bad if put a few drops of brake fluid into the screw thread (NOT in to hole.) for a better lubricating effect.

Hey guys yep ive pretty much done the same thing. Ive tried rost off before an have got some thread extractors pretty much the same as the pucture shown above. But my problem is this methods not working. Will i need to pull out all the steel piping infront of the head for a better chance or is there any other solution other than having it get machined out
