Re: Spark plugs?
you can place a mirror to reflect whats going on inside the plug hole. maybe something is happen to the plug thread. in my case before, the previous owner had put a black tape to the plug thread, so when the engine gets hot, the tape melt in the thread and I can't get the plug out. what i've done is to remove the melted tape first then the plug.

Re: Spark plugs?
could that the plug faces have rounded off so the plug sockets not getting a grip? i had that problem and i put a slight bend into the socket faces with a hammer and screwdriver so that it got a better grip.
