thing was that the socket didnt even reach the spark plug and was just stuck to the surrounding of the hole. got it out now, thanks for everyones help.
Had a friend that did this with my socket and then called me to get it unstuck. Pretty sure it was on this exact Toyota motor. What I did was pull the valve cover and put a socket inside the spark plug tube that fit very tight in it and put vice grips on the outside and work the entire tube loose by wiggling. Once the entire tube is out you can hammer out the socket. If you mess up the tube too bad you can try the same method on one at a local Pick-n-Pull. Try not to put any tool marks on any sealing surfaces.(spark plug tube seal) and reinstall with a hammer and a wood block.
You have to be a professional certified dealership mechanic to handle that type of work. You cant just pull out the battery with out knowing the volts and specs
I never have, just like the guy that leaves an oil plug loose.... trying to say it happens to everyone.... literally been doing this for 15 years and never did that @user-wv4gy3jp4c
Man, he was trying. Guarantee it's the right size socket he just needs a thin wall for that specific motor. He probably just got unlucky with a cheap socket, is my guess also.
Glad you got it out but I would invest in one of the extended spark plug sockets made for the recessed type plugs. Then the socket sticks up out of the hole just a little bit
A good tip when you're doing that again. Wrap each joint with electrical type. That way, when you pull on it, the extension won't come apart from the socket.
Take the plug out and remove the sock from the spark plug. Put a dab of dielectric grease inside the socket and try again. If that doesn’t work, take the rubber boot out of the socket completely but be careful not to break the porcelain part of the plug. Hope this helps.
The socket isn't on the plug it didn't make it that far to reach the plug before getting stuck somehow lol. If i was him I'd get some locking extensions next time
Lube it up, JB Weld on a stick, magnet, drill tap long bolt then pry. Try a little heat. PS: I've had that happen many times, and it can be a pain. Lastly remove rocker cover and presto. Good luck!
I had two plug sockets of each size. One with and one without the rubber insert. With the rubber insert for remove and without for install. Worked like a champ every time
I just bought a 09 Corolla. I wanted to check the plugs, so I figured it was a 5/8 spark plug socket. Nope, 1/2 inch drive wouldn’t even fit. I looked it up and I was surprised to see it was a 9/16 spark plug. I’m getting some rubber inserts to put in that socket for sure now lol. I also have locking extensions.
If you have to use this method You should have used a left hand thread tap because that would loosen the spark plug and then you could pull everything out. The way you did it just tightened your spark plug with an impact which is going to be way too tight now and that can damage things
Prob turn your little tiol into a mint slide hammer, with a socket or something, you need to tap it straight out pulling with the hammer is going to break the tap
Oh man I am happy to see that I am not the only one that this has happened to on a Toyota. Man I ended getting it out by getting a locking extension on it using a 90 degree pick to keep it in the unlock position while sliding it down. Used lots and lots of penetrating oil and ratchet it out while pulling it up the same time. Hope for the best, never again with 5/8 on these engines
A lot of times what happens if you're going reverse of the socket rounds around the socket you need to reverse that motion to loosen it up to help get it out. So sometimes adding a little forward motion will help it loosen up and take it out
I had this happen to me once because the heat shield that goes around the spark plug was bent so when I finally got it out I ground down the socket and kept it in me glovebox
I always spray the inside of my sockets with PB and keep those spark plug sockets in a warm place before use. If all else fails, get a 7 inch needle nose, pliers, & wrench on them. 07 and spark plugs will also pull the spark plug boots off properly if they separate without having to break the spark plug.
This is going to sound crazy but get a spray nozzle with a tip make sure that the tip can fit within the socket and inside of that spark plug hole as long as it fits past the socket and you can blow air through the socket into that contained area it will build pressure and the socket should pop out
You might also try carefully turning the engine over at the crank and see if the Piston will push up the socket. Obviously if you have to use too much force call it quiets. Will probably not work on an engine with a steep angle where the plug enters the chamber. For engines w/plug directly above piston
Damnnnn i thought the tap was pretty good thinking. Attach a slide hammer to the tool you already built, if that tap is in there good it will yank it out. That sucks man 😭
Seen this happen ONE other time. Guy ended up dropping some pieces of dry ice in the hole. Then used a 6” pick with a little hook on the end to hook the plug and yanked it right out
Pick or piece of coat hanger wire with a little hook bent in the end. Used one on my first tacoma because they were so far down in the holes. And old lol. Hook into the socket and loop the other end to yank it out
lol this happened to me while changing my spark plugs aswell almost same year car aswell but all I did was grab some crazy glue added it to another socket that will also fit in make them both touch wait 5 mins for the glue to stick and pull it out carefully worked like a charm
It will come out if you wobble it back-and-forth those spark, plug sockets take out that little rubber piece in the middle. You can always use a pen magnet to remove the spark plug at the end.😊
Thats why the special extended socket costs more to be specifically used for recessed plugs. In addition you need to.use a locking extension to guarantee when you pull up Nothing will separate.
If you can get an extension on it wiggle it backwards and forth just like you're losing it up it looks like you was tightening it up there to get that threader to start so try wiggling it backwards and forwards and the reverse motion
Ive had issues with spark plug sockets being too thick and getting stuck on the tappered walls when tightening plug. Shaved a snap-on one that worked but cracked after awhile. Found some thin-walled spark plug sockets from Matco 14mm. works perfectly. I dont know the orig. Manufaturer. Im sure if u google thin walled spark plug socket something will pop up
What u wanna do is put that thing you made in the socket and pull on it as someone is turning the motor over by you’re gonna wanna turn it over by hand with a socket and ratchet slowly as you try to pull the socket up out the hole it will relieve some of the pressure
Unscrew the spark plug and pull the whole thing out then cut the rubber inside the socket short so it barely grabs the spark plug as to not get it stuck in there
Plumbing pipe expander set. Found everywhere on the net & most local stores.i know it's too late for your situation, but it should work for future situations.
This may sounds dumb and put your ratchet back in there and back a spark plug out if that's not possible because the top of the spark plug is through the end of the socket did you try a magnet if he managed to get it out put the rubber grommet back inside the spark plug socket so this doesn't happen again and if it's stuck you have to slowly tap on each side of the socket evenly until it becomes free
Swivel extensions will sometimes hold enough. Just twist it back and forth by hand while pulling up. Put a dab of motor oil on the rubber ring in the socket before using to help it slide on and off.
Great idea with the tap but you should of tried a left handed thread plus you probably turned it over the plugs hex so the bottom expanded and jammed it going to take alot of force to unjam it
Have you tried a slap hammer? You know the ones that they used to pull dents out of the body on your car. Attach it to that device that you Mand try slapping it out because the claw hammered that you were using. It's a good idea, but you don't have enough leverage. Maybe if you use the slot timer , you might get enough force to pop it out
Common problem with those deep wells they make extra long sockets for spark plugs I just welded regular plug socket to a extension works great Now for your deal U will have to try different things U will figure it out 👍
Put a long extension on it. And wiggle it back and forth. And turn it slightly. The opposition way from what you was doing so if you was trying to take them out. Turn it right. Is you was trying to put it in turn it left. Is all else failed. Take rubbing alcohol. And or brake parts cleaner and spray it in the hole. Make sure it’s all dry. 💯 % dry. Mix up some jb weld. And put a thin coat on the sides of the extension. And plug it into the stuck socket. And let it fully dry. 9 to 12 hours later. After all of this process proceed back to step 1. Hope this helps. I know it’s a old video😊

How did u get it out
@@homelesshelpforjax ruclips.net/user/shorts9wCWu445BIk?si=K9w_i33JGw_JANPd
Ya I would have spun that thing at high speed with lube and pulled at same time . That was a good one
@@israb0 Links don't work dude 😢
Dude glad you got it out i would like to know how you did it please tell us
Flip the car upside down and shake it until it pops out. You welcome brother 🙏
😂😂😂
Omg lol
😅😅😅😅😅😅
This is the type of advice you give when you have no mechanical experience.
Works every time, I just did to get the glow plugs out my superduty...just shake extra hard
Remove the valve cover then you can use a vicegrip to unscrew the spark plug tube. The tubes are threaded into the cylinder head.
Ya exactly what he/she said👆🏻👆🏻
Wtf no they dont
@@davidadkins3544 I am a tech that worked at Toyota and also had my own shop.
The head is aluminum and the tunes are steel, they are threaded in.
Removing the valve cover is wasting so much time 😂🤦♂️
@@wethobgoblin2740 everyone has an opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours.
Just offer a solution will you
Find a way to rig a slide hammer onto the tool you made and try giving it some taps while applying tension with the other hammer like you were
I was gonna say the same thing
This 👀
Came here to say this
What He said ^^
Awesome bros, exactly what I was thinking.
I was gonna say the same, vice grips with slide hammer
For future jobs, I'd recommend investing in some locking extensions.
Bro would rather just try to reinvent the wheel
Don't forget the thin wall socket.
My car requires one, it won't even fit a standard socket in the hole.
I welded a spark plug socket to an extension. Never had a problem since
Never had this problem ever, just don’t try and force the plug socket down the hole 🤦♂️
@@driftnmike Something made of plastic push something that barley fits in there push down pull up done
You could remove the valve cover and then remove the tube if nothing else works. The tube is usually threaded into the head.
Exactly what I was thinking

I was just about to recommend this good job
Do the same thing you did with the tap but with a left handed tap
Yeah what he she they said
Take the battery out and put it back in
You have to be a professional certified dealership mechanic to handle that type of work. You cant just pull out the battery with out knowing the volts and specs
Just bang on it a little bit, or blow on it and restart it.
30% of the time it works everytime.
@@Chewie374bro are u dumb. Black go off den red go off den you take out battery. Durrdurrrrrhh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did you update your car ?
Use the correct size plug socket and it won’t get stuck
Bingo.
It happens. We all make those mistakes. Don't act like you've never put the wrong size socket in a hole and never got stuck...shit happens
I never have, just like the guy that leaves an oil plug loose.... trying to say it happens to everyone.... literally been doing this for 15 years and never did that @user-wv4gy3jp4c
Man, he was trying. Guarantee it's the right size socket he just needs a thin wall for that specific motor.

Genius
Best thing to have around the tool box is the locking extensions. They slide in but have a pull release collar to take off.
Absolutely fucking hate them. Get it in an area where you can’t reach and the tool hits the frame….
They make locking extensions my guy. I bought one after this happened to me on the exact same vehicle 😂
Wobble it back and forth very slightly and be very patient. Don’t panic and take your time
Take the spark plug back
The comment I was lookin for made by a person who's been in this situation before 😂
That's what she told me too
Throw those stupid rubber boot spark plug sockets in the trash. Get yourself some magnetic spark plug sockets. That will never happen again.
Proper tool for the job. Get that clawhammer out of the mechanic shop.
I haven’t worked on rigs in so long I didn’t even know the magnetic ones existed. Have one on order now!
Glad you got it out but I would invest in one of the extended spark plug sockets made for the recessed type plugs. Then the socket sticks up out of the hole just a little bit
thank God for my Matco 3-piece Spark plug sockets that gets into every car
I have never seen this happen in my life...
A good tip when you're doing that again. Wrap each joint with electrical type. That way, when you pull on it, the extension won't come apart from the socket.
Lol they make locking extensions for a reason
You need to use a reverse thread tap like an extractor if you were expecting that tool you made to work you could try a really strong magnet also
Dude glad you got it out i would like to know how you did it please tell us
Take the plug out and remove the sock from the spark plug. Put a dab of dielectric grease inside the socket and try again. If that doesn’t work, take the rubber boot out of the socket completely but be careful not to break the porcelain part of the plug. Hope this helps.
I think his problem us the plug won't budge either
Why is breaking the porcelain part of the plug your big worry here?
The socket isn't on the plug it didn't make it that far to reach the plug before getting stuck somehow lol. If i was him I'd get some locking extensions next time
Right over this one’s head
🤣🤣🤣 striped the spark plugs tread on the head , hood luck buddy
Bread, time for bread and lots of it 😂
Lube it up, JB Weld on a stick, magnet, drill tap long bolt then pry. Try a little heat. PS: I've had that happen many times, and it can be a pain. Lastly remove rocker cover and presto. Good luck!
Can u keep unscrewing plug until it is out of the threads and then use a magnet?
You go get another 09 corolla for $200

How the hell did you not break that tap lol
If you have to use this method You should have used a left hand thread tap because that would loosen the spark plug and then you could pull everything out. The way you did it just tightened your spark plug with an impact which is going to be way too tight now and that can damage things
Prob turn your little tiol into a mint slide hammer, with a socket or something, you need to tap it straight out pulling with the hammer is going to break the tap
How come you don’t use torque wrench with the spark plug socket ? 😅
Try left hand tap thread. That way you can just go ahead and loosen up the socket and the spark plug and it all will come out
Magnetic son. Big azz magnet
You never tighten or remove spark plugs with an impact. You can strip the threads that way. Always by hand is best
Finally someone said it
You can pull your valve cover off. The tube unscrewed out of head then you will be able to get that socket out of that tube
CLEARLY you done muffed up 😂
Customer service be like: Did you try unplugging the power cord for fifteen seconds? 😂
Oh man I am happy to see that I am not the only one that this has happened to on a Toyota.

Probably already have it fixed by now. But someone else made the mention of a left-handed tap. That would work

Did you try to take the spark plug out and check the fittings 😮of the spark plug and spark plug socket
Drain the antifreeze and let the motor get almost to the red on the temperature gauge and break it loose. My father was a mechanic for years.
Yes joking.....
If you drain the water your temp gauge wont work
It started smoking....is this fr
Yes did you also drain the oil as that also cools the spark plugs
Ok ima drain the oil so it cools since i drained the antifreeze thanks

Why does the adapter hole look warped? Did you over tighten the socket?

Gotta use thin wall sockets. Not the thick ones for impacts. Im assuming thats the case?

sheesh i shouldve just changed the tire, i think that should fix it too!🫡
Future reference use a magnetic to drop in the spark plug and remove the rubber piece or use a regular 5/8 or 13/16 socket
Have u tried needle nose pliers?
the hole was too long and small
What u wanna do is put that thing you made in the socket and pull on it as someone is turning the motor over by you’re gonna wanna turn it over by hand with a socket and ratchet slowly as you try to pull the socket up out the hole it will relieve some of the pressure

Magnet or stick a screw driver in between socket and spark tip and twist with vise grip slowly
This may sounds dumb and put your ratchet back in there and back a spark plug out if that's not possible because the top of the spark plug is through the end of the socket did you try a magnet if he managed to get it out put the rubber grommet back inside the spark plug socket so this doesn't happen again and if it's stuck you have to slowly tap on each side of the socket evenly until it becomes free
Maybe a left thread tap. That can maybe release it when it goes the other way then u can pull it out.
Shit is terrifying when it's your only daily driver. My 09 rav4 plugs kept sticking and I got the socket stuck. 😅
Just use an extension that is long enough to let you slowly pull up on it, sometimes you have to wiggle it and spin it.
Did you try switching it off , wait for 2 minutes and then try it again .?
Spray oil on the sides pb blaster helps
I recommend the right tool to do the job a extra long spark plug socket but lucky lucky you you never felt so good! 😂
Swivel extensions will sometimes hold enough. Just twist it back and forth by hand while pulling up. Put a dab of motor oil on the rubber ring in the socket before using to help it slide on and off.
I found that putting dielectric grease inside of the rubber on a spark plug socket makes it come off the spark plug very easily
Drill a whole in middle of extention that fits socket
Great idea with the tap but you should of tried a left handed thread plus you probably turned it over the plugs hex so the bottom expanded and jammed it going to take alot of force to unjam it
You can make a miniature slide Hammer with some threaded rod. Tap the appropriate threads into the back of the socket.
Now you are driving a chevford "I can't"
I had a coil over plug melt around the spark plug I had to break the plastic around the plug too remove it
Thin wall spark plug socket?
I used a long pick when I did that. The spark plugs are 14mm on those. Not 5/8. It took me about 45 minutes to get my socket back
as your prying up with the Hamer jently tap the top of ur bit to help vibrat out
Have you tried a slap hammer? You know the ones that they used to pull dents out of the body on your car. Attach it to that device that you Mand try slapping it out because the claw hammered that you were using. It's a good idea, but you don't have enough leverage. Maybe if you use the slot timer , you might get enough force to pop it out
Common problem with those deep wells they make extra long sockets for spark plugs I just welded regular plug socket to a extension works great
Now for your deal U will have to try different things U will figure it out 👍
Use an easy out instead of a tap at the end of your contraption. It will take the spark plug out with the socket, because it has reverse thread.
Clearly, clear. Indeed.
Invest in a set of ratchet extensions that have the lock collar on them. Good when doing deep spark plugs or somewhere your hand can’t reach.
If you don't want to remove the valve cover spray a little PB - Blaster & let it sit for a min
Fluted Extractors…thank me later LoL I know the feeling
Put a long extension on it. And wiggle it back and forth. And turn it slightly. The opposition way from what you was doing so if you was trying to take them out. Turn it right. Is you was trying to put it in turn it left. Is all else failed. Take rubbing alcohol. And or brake parts cleaner and spray it in the hole. Make sure it’s all dry. 💯 % dry. Mix up some jb weld. And put a thin coat on the sides of the extension. And plug it into the stuck socket. And let it fully dry. 9 to 12 hours later. After all of this process proceed back to step 1. Hope this helps. I know it’s a old video😊
If your socket has a ball detent, use a locking extension.
Had a guy do that the other day, I used a stick welder and welded it to a bolt that I hooked a slide hammer to
