#73763 moving to engine general since this doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that your car is a coupe :thumb:

spray a little PB blaster down there & let it soak a little while. The last thing you want to have happen is to strip out the threads (previous owner may have already started that). Also are you trying when the engine is warm, cold, or both?

#73885 at autozone they have these sockets that take out anything that is stripped (they are magic no matter how stripped a nut or bolt is) , did you try a breaker bar?

#73990 is not the spark plug that is strip is that is real hard to take out like if they put the spark plug crooked and is hard to come out so i dont struggle to much wit it because i dont want it to break inside them i got to change the whole head do yall think if i put wd 40 on it and let it sit for a while would it come out?
