    Stuck Spark Plug

    The williams has crept up another hidden suprise which is great.
    Spark Plug 1 is stuck solid. Number 2 was real stiff to get out.
    Number 1 is requiring alot of force and im worried for stripping the thread.
    Is there anything i can do? Or just try my luck with more force.
    Is there a chance it may be hydrolocked due to some oil leaking down there?

    Tried it when it was hot as well.
    But i heard thats not good for the thread due to the metals having different contraction rates.
