How can you remove a spark plug that's had the head rounded off?

I have just done this on a cast-iron head ..... plug head was rounded off and insulator cracked. The only way was to completely remove the insulator core (much time, cursing and swearing) byand then use an ezi-out to extract the remainder being careful not to let anything fall into the cylinder. Also be sure the piston is at BDC so you don't damage it as well. In hindsight, when it was found tight, I should have left it alone and taken it to a professional. Good luck!

Remove the spark plug wire or coil and use a padded socket to remove the spark plug from the head. Examine the old spark plug for wear patterns. Very carefully start threading the new spark plug in, such as not to damage the threads in the head, and finally use the padded socket to tighten firm (lookup specific torque specifications for your vehicle).

Take it to a trustworthy mechanic. You DON'T want to do this job. I had the spark plug break off in the head. It's about $528 job to have done. But if they snap off in the head its $1200 a head. Good luck!!!

Do you need a special tool to change out the spark plugs on a 99 Dodge Intrepid?
First you need a Torx head screwdriver(the proper size of course) to remove the two torx screws that secures the wiring head that leads to the spark plug. Then you would use the proper size spark plug socket (has a rubber washer inside), I believe its 5/8, to remove the spark plug it self. (You have to pull up on the wiring head in order to access the plug). jd.

You will first need to remove the coils and plug wires to access the spark plugs. The coils sit on top of the valve cover and are held in with small torx head screws. Then pry off the plug wires and remove the coil and wires together. Then you have access to the spark plugs.
Where are the spark plugs located in an 04 F250?
They are located right in between the where intake manifold ends and the valve cover starts. You must remove a 7mm hex head bolt to remove the coil unit, then unplug the wire for the coil unit for each spark plug, remove the coil unit and you need a special very long spark plug socket to go down into the spark plug hole. Beware!!! The 4.6 and 5.4 Ford V-8 engines are known to have the spark plugs break off in the head for no appearent reason whatsoever and without warning.
