Just between cars right now due to an accident. I bought it for $1k from a utility company in MA because I knew someone there. So not too worried if all the porcelain etc. The engine has 177k miles on it and I was going to buy a new car anyway and use it for dump/Home Depot/Lowe's etc runs only. And use my compressor to blow out what I can. If it works I have the micro kit for shop vac and will gorilla tape it on the hose and suck up what I can. I've got a shop vac zip tied next to the bore to suck up pieces and using moly grease to try and trap particles in it. Would rather have bought a Makia, but if they HF works, I won't complain. Once the porcelain is out of the way I'm tapping it and pulling it with the cheaper NAPA service tool for Triton plugs It's pretty thin so a DeWalt carbide bit should go through it.Then I have a diamond bit for the porcelain that I found at Lowe's in the flooring section. ![]() I got my boroscope in there and identified the piece. Designed for high speed operation, these burrs have a 1/4 in. The bottom thread of the Lisle tool pulled off inside the spark plug so user error on my part.Feel pretty stupid right now. New ToolsConstructed from solid tungsten carbide for use with hard materials, this burr set is precision milled with double cutting edges.So I'm just going to try a carbide steel bit. Well I wanted to get it done today since I have meetings etc tomorrow and wouldn't you know it HF was out of burr bits. Thanks for any suggestions! Myself and my cat would appreciate it if we have food. I can get Burr bits at Grainger or Fastenal on Tuesday.ĭoes anyone know where an electric die grinder and carbide burr bits can be acquired on a Sunday? Need to get some food soon.

My air compressor is too small to effectively run a pneumatic one. Guy working the tool section didn't know what a die grinder or burr bit is. Go to Home Depot no electric die grinders. ![]() So a burr ball bit would go through that as well. A piece of the tool may have broken off inside as well. He advised me to use a die grinder with a Burr ball bit on it to grind out some of the porcelain so that the electrode shield could be tapped. Called Lisle for other options and one of their engineers called me back at 9pm on Friday night to see if I had it out. Tried the Lisle tool and it failed to extract it. All that's left is the electrode shield and the porcelain inside. To make a long story short, I broke a spark plug in half, in my fine 3v Triton V8.
