Extension and epoxy? You might have to trash both once you get it out tho since it probably won't come apart...

what happened to flipping the car upside down?

lol...

i m sure you will figure it out. there is no real trick. just get it out.

ps. its good to have long needle nose pliers and locks in your tool box. they have curved ones on the ends/tip too, which are great.

hm..
if the socket is stuck in the sparkplug spot..
is it face up or down?
meaning.. can you mate an extension on the socket?

if so.. why not just do it that way?
lol,..

did the plug get stripped or something? whats the problem?
by all means, just use a needlenose plier.. thats your best bet.
unless you want to take the head off for a simple plug.
lol

Is it jammed or something? although the plug might be screwed, saved your socket by taping the end and pugging it back into the socket to clear extra space and pull it out, if that don't work, tap it lightly until its unjammed and proceed with pliers. I'm concerned how you did it lol, pics?

hmm but ii'm thinking v6 anyway, who knows.

take the valve cover off
because the reason its not comming off is because your valve cover is sitting crooked on your head.

either that or you put too much gasket maker on the sparkplug holes so it seeped over too much

hey you can get a locking extention that locks in to the socket and then pull it out. I have done the same thing before thats is why i own a locking extenion i have never seen on at auto zone i got mine from the matco tool truck it wasnt cheap 38.00

wrap the thin part of a tshirt around the extension, then put the extension into the socket, the extra snuggness of the shirt should help some, try twisting to help wrap the tshirt around it.

he jerked the socket out and into his own face with enought force to knock himself out and then he fell and slammed his head on the valve cover and bled out.....

240SX killed him...
