So I'm a bit of a car noob.
A big noob. I was changing the sparkplugs in my Celica, and I was tightening up the last plug, and it just broke. I don't know what to do, can I get it out, or am I screwed? I need this car for work tomorrow! please help! |

you're better off going to the mechanic though, you may just make it worse if you break the bit off or pull threads out. -------------------- |
