I addressed this briefly in my 89 been sitting, I'm buying thread but thought it probably should have its own thread.

When I went to change the spark plugs on my almost acquired 89 245, #1 broke clean off, only leaving the threads in the head, nothing outside to grip onto. I'd like to get it out, obviously, and am seeking suggestions.

My initial thoughts - PB blaster soak overnight. Then, I'm not sure. Bolt/screw extractor maybe? I saw an Internal "wrench" it was called, kind of a star shape head that fits inside, but the largest size was 12mm and I wasn't sure that would be big enough.

I would be grateful for any advice,

Thanks,

Jeff
