I was replacing spark plugs on the Supra when the unthinkable happened.
The person who put the plugs in last on the Supra stripped some out.. i got to the last one replacing it and snap. ****** broke and left the threads down in there. I tried using an easy out w/ a square head. so i had to put a socket on the square head of the easy out.. now that ****** is lodged down in there and I need to get it back out.. Any Idea out how to get a stripped rounded out easy out of broken spark plug threads down in the head. I will paypal 5 bucks to any good ideas or even a suggestion of finding a broken socket puller w/ reverse threads on it. Im not sure if they are even in exhistence. I'm not pulling the head, i'll hang myself before I pull the head.

I dont quite get this. Just the threads of the spark plug broke, you jammed something down in there and cant get that out either. Is the thing you jammed in there so tight that it grabs onto the threads and if turned will come out? My suggestion would be to get a socket that fits the thing you got stuck in there. Put some kind of glue in there, not tons, dont want to make a mess. Leave it there and then just easily work it off.
