Hey Toddstar, the Yanks must call Penetrene "Liquid Wrench It" as Craig has kindly suggested.

Been soaked a fair bit, I was just using wd40 but the mechanic used some sort of carbon spray and had more luck, Can't run it on 5 cylinders now we did that when it first didn't budge, warmed it up for a while tried again and snapped the tip of the easy out into the bore
Sad thing was I wanted the mechanic 2 do it all ( including the plugs ) but he is pretty flat out so I done some work myself so I would save some money and he would have 2 spend more time on it then needed be

Are you able to drill a hole into the centre of the plug - mentioned use of easy-out? I have used a product in the past from loctite which is a freeze agent. The concept is to lower the temp of the plug and have it contract, more or less the reverse of the warm engine approach. Of course if you have deformed the threads or managed to even slightly cross threaded them this won't help. Nuke the plug via the hole then get straight onto it with a big breaker bar wrench/socket or even a powerful 240v impact gun. Once it moves, don't stop, then address any issues with thread later, that would be my approach.

Just reading and was about to suggest a can of Freeze all or what ever they call it these days.
Happened to me years ago on a T120 triumph spark plug,previous owner cross threaded it grrrr
Penetrene is a great product, is there any way you can "shock" the plug to help break the seal.
But what a biatch eh one plug grounding you, it will probaly require a helicoil anyway 14mm x 1.5 pitch
if I was close by I'd lend a hand but ...........two heads better than one

Thanks @garett for the offer, I'm going 2 give the Loctite freeze and release that Phil (@PBBIZ2) mentioned a go
http://www.loctite.com.au/3320_AUE_H...=8802649931777
If that fails I might burn it or turn it into a big BBQ
And thanks to everyone for the suggestions
