Spark plug removal issues

Loose meaning it unthreaded all the way, or loose meaning it broke loose and then won't turn further?  If it unscrewed all the way and just won't come out of the hole, magnet, or long thin pliers.

Or a 3/8 piece of rubber fuel line hose.  If it won't unthread all the way, I would try to screw it in and out a few times to carefully loosen whatever is binding the threads up.  Sometimes the angle that you are trying to work at can be self binding so be careful of that.

Take the motor out and turn it upside down.

 

But yeah, if have a piece of hose around that can work well, or any kind of pickup tool, which is good to have around.  I've probably used mine five times in 20-30 years, but really really needed it those times.

That's only for teslas, might as well do an oil change while you're at it.
