Default spark plug prob

the guy i got my jeep from told me he put all new plugs in it when i bought it but today told me he replaced all but the one closest to the firewall becouse it just keeps spinning and he couldnt get it out. i know there are plug repair kits but how do i get it out first??

Always believe the PO is a DAPO.
Most times they are.
To what extent? Only YOU can answer that.

Try removal of offending plug first. I highly doubt if it "keeps spinning" that it would stay in the head for any amount of time.
Perhaps, the hex of the plug may have given up the faith or the DAPO's socket wasn't the proper size.


Reminds me of the Chevy Celebrity V6 I had.
The rear bank had 3 different spark plugs. All three were different from the front which were all the same.

X2...What Howler said...

If it is, you're gonna wanna get a heli-coil kit for it and a helluva shop vac to suck out that cylinder...
