Breaking the porcelain off spark plug
Anyone know how to break the porcelain off/out of this plug? Trying to get it flush
with the outer metal rim. Tried using an angle grinder and that seems to take
forever (while chewing up the disc), Used a hammer and a pick and that just dented
the pick, then used a bigger hammer
, and still nothing...
Anyone have any ideas?

Industrial ceramic is harder than most metal cutting surfaces... you need a blade made for ceramic tile; carbide or diamond.
Wouldn't it be easier to do with the plug out?

I will run up to the lab tomorrow and use the wet diamond disc they have up there. I know that
thing would chew anything up (so says my knuckles), but wanted to see if I could save the trip.
I put them in a spare housing because I have no vice to put them in, plus I do not want to
damage the threads as I will still be using these in my engine.
These will be used for my coil mount.
