I was doing a tune up on my chevy 1500 and I was changing the plugs and the #6 plug won't free up. I tried liquid wrench and tried running it for awhile to get it hot. Any other options?

Sometimes if you try to tighten the plug before loosening works

I just rolled 300,000. Thought I would give the ol' girl a tune up. Normally I change the plugs every 75,000 or so. Never had this happen before.

Given the circumstance I'd leave that plug alone. One old plug is better than a heli coil.

Yeah, I ended up reconnecting the plug wire and leavin it alone. She doesn't run any different. Besides there are 7 others to pick up the slack. Thanks for the replies.
