[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 15299098, member: 10912"] I got it out! I tried several things and my last ditch effort worked. I suppose worst case I could have broken the porcelain and used an extractor to get the metal out. But I was trying to avoid that. It was down too far in the head, as I suspected. The entire Heli-coil insert and spark plug. Luckily the insert came out with the plug. [b]How I got it out:[/b] I used a 7/8" hole saw and grinded away some of the head around the hex part of the plug which then allowed me to get the socket on it. It worked perfectly. Part of the head has to be removed (using a counterbore) when doing the time-sert so it's not an issue that I removed some already. [/QUOTE]
