Plug Help

I got the car in December and didn't change the plugs cause they are in there kinda tight. Im afraid to take them out with all that force risking stripping the rotar housings. Should I do it anyways?

Same thing kinda happened with my old 626. The head was stripped and I got that recoil kit and screwed that up. The car was toast anyways, but I'm still afraid to do the same on my RX-7.

What do you guys think?

Soak the bottom of the plugs in some penetrating oil for a few hours, the hit them gently, Very gently with the socket on using a small hammer, dont pound them too hard.
You could also let the engine run for a few minuttes and then try to get them out

Go for it. You will need to replace them sooner or later. They gotta come out. If a problem from top, you can always get them from underneath. When replacing them don't forget the antiseize compound, and keep plug wires in order.
