Yes, but do you have a HUD, superior gauge cluster, superior Sunfire seats with power bolsters, auto climate control, etc?

Help
One of the spark plugs is stuck in the cylinder head, it broke off at the socket. Threads are stuck in the engine. Any advice?

I'm not sure if that "number 5" is right but a screw extractor is the way to go.

Dis. Assuming you can fit a drill back there.

I've got the inner fender plastic out, so I've got access. I'm letting it sit in PB blaster, I'll try it tonight.
I've been looking though the workshop manual, and if I do need to pull the head, it's not too difficult, just labor intensive. This truck does continue to surprise, fucking yanks and your snow and ice.

It ruins cars man. Although the spark plug was probably just over tightened.

The other five broke loose normally, they're all pretty rusty doe, so I think it got rusted at the base and just broke where the metal was the thinnest.
I have faith that it's not seized in there, let's see if my faith holds out.

Using an OEM bolt extractor kit the way this guy did:
