Spark Plugs Cross Threaded

Removing, easy. Just take it out. Repairing the damage, not so easy. If you're very - make that VERY - lucky, you can thread the new plug in correctly and it will hold. More likely, it won't. There's a product called Helicoil that looks like a steel spring with a diamond cross-section. You tap out the old hole with a special tap, screw in the Helicoil, break off its driving section (all of this will make more sense when you actually see one) and you have a new thread. It's one of those jobs that you should try a few times on something that doesn't matter. Reaming out the old hole and starting the threading tap absolutely square is difficult. If you end up off-square, your plug won't seat properly. On the other hand, it's a pretty quick job, and your local mechanic should be able to do it cheaply enough.
