Post Spark Plugs

I was wondering if anyone out there has any tips or tricks for removing stuck spark plugs. It is on a 300, the last plug. Hard to get at. I have tried WD-40 and turning it firmly, but I have not gone all out on it because I don't want to break it. I may try heating, but that is going to be hard because there is little space and lots of vaccum lines. I may try an impact if nothing else. Any idea's?

Didn't you post the exact same question oanother thread? Use PENETRATING oil NOT WD-40 and get a LONG handled ratchet or break over. A shop can get a torch on it without burning up everything.

4xford,
Don't try heat on the plug with a torch. Try removing the plug with the engine hot. I would soak it with kroil for a couple of days then when the motor is hot try a 6point socket Not 12pt (it'll strip easier) with a little xtra leverage. and that (we hope) should get it!
