Re: [Peugeot-L] 505 turbo - broken spark plug

For starters, I would be contacting Bosch, and asking if they have a solution, since it was a Bosch plug. Perhaps it was faulty?

If you can get a left hand tap and bolt of the appropriate size, you could thread the inside of the sparkplug, fit the bolt with a nut to stop it going too far and locktite, let it set, then continue to do up the bolt, which of course being a left hand thread, will attempt to undo the sparkplug.

Also, I suggest easing off on the work-outs at the gym, I think you are strong enough when you can shear sparkplugs off. 8¬) Regards,
