stripped spark plug

[heavyd619]

i have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and i am doing a tune up. the spark plug in the back has little to no room to work on and the plug is stripped out i believe. it keeps turning in the block and will not tighten or loosen. any thoughts on how to fix this with out sinking to much money into this project. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pull the head and replace/repair as needed. I have heard of heli-coil repairs but is never permanent and need room to do it. Should always use small amount of anti-seize on plug threads.

JBweld that sucker in there and hope you never have to replace it because you will have to do far more than what has been listed at that point

If that plug is spinning and will not go in or out then compression is coming by it and JB Weld is not going to stop that. But it is your rig. Try it if you want.
