Default OK, even bigger problem

Ok guys,

I tried to remove my front spark plug to dry it out after it got soaked on the way home, only for the poxy thing to snap! The part that is still left in there is from the screw part down, the only section to come out was the completely rusted top!

So, please help guys, how do i get the remaining part out?

Google is a wonderful thing

Sounds nasty but I'm sure you're not the first and won't be the last, when you put the new one in use a torque wrench

Bugger . 'Head' off time, I'd say.

I'd disagree about use of a Torque wrench. It is not essential(I know you didn't say that TLW ) Torque wrences probably cost as much problems as they are supposed to prevent

For new plugs, 1/2 turn after washer has seated or about 1/8 if re-using old plugs.
