Toss it and buy a new one. You want four good plugs and breaking a tip will mean poor conductivity for that plug.

Well my plugs came in and they are all 1-1.1mm. So that's close enough for me. This weekend, Saturday, I'm going to do it

Well Amazon delivered early.

My old plugs look like this. 1 being from the closest to the bumper (front).

Any comments?

How many miles on your 04? Its hard to tell from the angle of the plugs. Maybe a bit rich but good?

Another good plug to use is the NGK Copper BKR7E.Gap .040.

Plugs last about 30k miles and since the plugs are cheap $2 ea. and takes about 30min,I change mine about once a yr.

72K on them. Should I be concerned about the white spots?
