As stated, have the Lisle tool on hand. It makes broken plugs no problem. The best chance of not breaking them are to get the engine to operating temperature and then zip them out with an impact gun. Worked for me.

This method also worked on my 2005.

Or, since it is your daily transportation .... bite the bullet and take it to a shop that's had experience and has a lisle or similar extraction tool set in case of breakage ..... but it's gonna cost some $$$ that way.

If he has 122K on it with original plugs, they need to be changed.
