Need help broke a spark plug left side third hole. Can get the heat shield off sprayed pb blaster n it will not come out. So how do I get it off?

 

What vehicle?

 

Clean out the hole it sits in, blow it out with air, or whatever you got. Make sure all the dirt is out of there. (heat shields are pretty good about collecting it...) Hit it with some PB Blaster, or some other GOOD penetrating oil. (NOT WD-40.) Put a socket on it, and try working it back and forth to get it to break loose. If it starts binding while removing it, run it back in, hit it with more chems, and try again. You do NOT want to break the plug off in the hole. No fun at all.

 

2001 dodge ram 2500 4x4 5.9 gas one plug broke off so fighting the shield but I sprayed it for three days n nothing the tube just keeps breaking

 

The dirt that is probably trapped in there won't let the lube get down to the threads. Take out the entire heat shield, a little at a time if you have to, clean out around the plug, and then hit it with chems.

 

Ok well I will try blowing them out again. And spraying them again thanks for the help. If that doesn't work I will take it to the garage . I have about a week into this job.

 

Hey you will they come out with the plug still in the hole or do u have to take the plug out. A guy told me that u have to take the plug out first. This is all new to me never had this problem with my 95 ram n thanks again for the help.

 

When I did my tune up a week ago I pulled the heat shields off (with a pair of pliers/ vice grips) before I even tried to remove the plugs and I took a small screw driver and scraped around each plug to get all the crap that collects around the plug. I pulled all the plugs and unhooked to the power wire to the coil and cranked the engine for a few seconds to blow out any crap that may have fell in the cylinders.
