Many years ago I was changing the plugs in a late 80's Ford Fiesta the 1st plug I removed the spark plug boot from the porcelain portion came out in one piece. The plug was corroded from just above the threads . I found a large easy out the next day + threw some heat to it and got lucky because it didn't mess up the threads. The other 3 plugs came out fine but were almost in the same condition. The plugs were original equipment platinums and had 85k on them. Added never seize to the new ones. The job turned out ok and the girlfriend was happy.😅
There are also deep bolt extractors. Would be easier, since the newer engines have very small diameter spark plug tubes, where you almost can't break off the porcelaine part without damaging said tube.
I need some help i have a 2011 Camaro with the 3.6 my spark plug gap is 0.43 but my ngks are 0.44 would i have to regap the new plugs that came pregapt.

I doubt that socket would fit down inside onto the spark plug. Maybe v6 or v8 where it’s more exposed not down inside 4 cylinder
