use a thread chaser/tap with anti-seize on it, the anti-sieze will help capture the old thread debris from falling inside of the cylinder. make sure you drop the psition in the hole so you don't hit the psition with the tap.

they can only be cross threaded if you installed them that way. ALWAYS use anti-seize.
i have had they happen many times in the past. i use "BG" products in-force penetrating oil that foams when sprayed. shot some down around the base of the spark plugs. let sit fo a minute or so. then try to turn each plug until it stop, evan if it is only 1/16-1/8 turn. spray it again and go to the next sprak plug. it my take awhile but they will come out.

It can actually. NGK specifically says DO NOT use anti-seize on their plugs because it can lead to over-torquing them. The coating is already on the threads of the plugs.

NGK 2668 FTW, I change them out every oil change to be safe and then tighten them down to 19ft/lbs with a torque wrench
i change mine every two years. approx 8k miles :/

I just bought this
http://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-640...ref=pd_cp_hi_0
Hopefully this will do the trick
How do I move the piston down without starting the car, turn the crank pulley?
