I may be being daft, but I bought some of the BPR6ES and they look ok. However I could not fit them as yet...

I took one of the ones in the car out, and it has the screw thread exposed on the top of the plug, ok I thought, I will just take off the domed bit that screws on the top off of the new plug, the problem is they don't come off on these plugs...so I don't think I can fit them until I get a different set of leads...

Am I missing something ?

Is it a left hand thread then do you know?

Wasn't gonna own up to this, but trying pliers and then a vice - something inside snapped and the electrode fell out
