I changed plugs on my buddys 5.4 and had the block at room temp,dis the penetrating oil overnight, and broke the plugs loose and did back and forth teqnique for removal and didn't have a problem on none of his plugs. I went to do my personal truck and I broke one. It broke below the threads so it completely out of your hands when it breaks on that lower bond on the plug. This is ideal situation I'm dealing with.worse case scenario is pulling the threads out with the plug. I'm lucky!!!!! I only had 2 break.
Aussie, as spare stated already it was not my error. It a terrible design flaw in these motors.
