Hey guys, I had a big boo boo today. Was doing plugs and coil packs on my 2008 Spec B. I just got the car back from a full engine rebuild and we stupidly used the old plugs and coils (would have been the perfect time to do these...duh, but they weren’t presenting any issues before rebuild) and I’ve been having a bit of a misfire since the rebuild that I was trying to correct. Started on the Passenger side, got everything disassembled, got the front plug in fine. Moved to the back one, finger tightened it and then went to hit it with the torque wrench at 14 lbs per the vacation pix. It was still turning fairly easy but it was getting to the point where I was saying to myself this isn’t right and then all of a sudden I heard a crack and it started to turn freely. Don’t know how or why but it broke clean off. I should have stopped sooner but it was still turning without a ton of force, stupid mistake. Pictures below.
So obviously I’m here for some advice as to what to do now. In the bit of digging around I did it looks like people have had success with a number 5 screw extractor such as below but man does it make me nervous to mess up with that thing:
Anyone out there have any input or suggestions??
