Stuck plug

So I wentand ordered what I needed to do a tune-up and while I was waiting for my ignition parts I started with replacing sparkplugs yesterday. Well, needless to say everyone came out fine but one. Second from the front on the passenger head starts to loosen and then tightens up again. I tried forcing it but I don't feel like absolutely reaming on it and breaking it. Any suggestions? Figures that it's only one. I'm thinking it's crossthreaded?

Thank you PO :S.

It could have a carbon build-up or a heli-coil thread repair. Have you ever changed them before?

Nope. All the others weren't bad at all. They were fairly rusty, though. Oh what a pain.

well if it was a cross thread than your threads are already messed up so it really wouldnt matter to force it but i dont know how someone could get it in there and not notice it... there really is no other way
