Sometimes it's possible to buy a kit from an auto parts store and repair the head on the engine, but most of the time you'll need to remove the head to do the job right.
It depends on what you mean by that. If the top insulator has broken, just use a socket to loosen what's left of the plug and pull it out using pliers or whatever works. If the internal insulator has broken off and a big chunk of ceramic is inside the engine you might be able to turn the engine by hand until the exhaust valve is open then use a compressor to force the pieces out. You may need to get some help with a thin lighting system that you can put down the plug hole.

How do you replace the spark plugs on a 1992 buick skylark?

Well the easiest way is to pull the engine. But that's quite a task for someone that doesnt know how to change a spark plug. Pull the wires off the spark plugs on the engine. Not the box where they all hook into. Use a ratchet and a spark plug socket of the correct size to GENTLY break loose the spark plug. Twist plug out with fingers in a counter-clockwise direction. Reverse these instructions for installation. Try not to break them off or you will be in big trouble.

How do you check an engine for spark?

Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Use some heavy gloves or a set of insulated pliers to hold the spark plug wire about 1/4-inch from the engine block (ground) and crank the engine - you should see a spark jump from the wire to the engine ground. For a better check, use another spark plug and put it on the spark plug wire and use it as a "jumper" from the wire to the engine ground.

My Montgomery ward riding lawn mower engine turns over but won't start?

Try starting the engine, pull the spark plug out and see if it is wet with gas, if it is you might not have any spark(possible from a fouled spark plug) or it might have low compression, put the plug into the spark plug boot and set the tip of the plug onto something that is metal on the engine and turn the engine over. you should see spark, no spark=ignition problem. If the plug is not wet the engine isn't getting any gas and you have a carburetor problem.
