Stuck spark plugs

That's never happened to me before, but like everyone else here I would 
suggest you use a good liquid penetrant on it.  If you have the time soak it 
with the stuff as often as you can before trying to remove it again.

If you still can't get it to budge use a breaker bar and repair the threads 
afterwards.  I can't think of a reason for a plug to stick other then 
someone cross threading it when it was installed.

good luck
