Guys,

Is it stripped where it just spins in the cylinder head, or is it just stuck were you can't get it to move.
Or is it a combo deal where the plug is stuck but you have rounded of the flats on the plug so it just spins in the socket?
Ouch! That doesn't sound to fun to fix since the spark plugs are down a hole. Good luck though.
POS, the spark plug is round. The socket just spin. I'm looking for one of those MetWrench socket they used to advertise on TV.
Try these guys. I'd find out what the O.D. is on one of these sockets since you have tight fit to get to the plugs on a Miata.Quote:

However, regardless of what the commercial says, these can not get every stripped bolt ot nut. I had a stripped seat bolt and the Metrinch couldn't get it.
I ended up using this. It wouldn't work on a Sparkplug though. :(
Don't be shy with the PB Blaster before you attempt to remove this plug!
