I pulled the spark plug wire cap - and it shattered in the spark plug tube type area. (That hole that the whole plug goes down and screws at the bottom.)
This is on my 1995 E420 - Engine - 119.975
So there are broken pieces down in the tube - where I can't reach them.
The spark plug tool will not grab the plug. So - right now, I'm stuck.
Is there a spark plug socket that has "fingers" at the bottom so if some plastic is there - the wrench can still grab the plug.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
Things I've done / considered:
- Water - the plastic sinks, I was thinking if it floated, I'd just float it out.
- The MB Dash board puller - didn't get any pieces out
- Long stick with some grease on the tip
I'm thinking of using a vacuum hose - I will be sensitive to gas fumes in the sweeper.
To make matters worse - this is plug number 4 - back by the firewall - but Murphy wrote a law about those things.
Your thoughts are appreciated
Comment: The car is running smooth - so I guess the boot of the wire got low enough for contact.
