Changing Spark Plugs

I have a quick questions, is there other trick in removing the spark plugs? I am having the hardest time getting the plugs out. I tried searching this forum to see if any members did have a hard time removing them.

I want to try to fix my car first and if I can't then the local mechanic would come into play. Also, if there's a link on 'how to" that would be great.

Thanks in advance....

ive heard of people having issues with the threads in the heads stripping after 100,000 miles etc. I wouldnt force them if I were you, might be better to have a tech do it so that if they strip he can fix it right away, otherwise itll be a big PITA

Spark Plug write-up

See my post #8 on the spark plug post below. Stripping threads has to do with removing spark plugs on a warm/hot engine which is a "no-no" on an aluminum head engine.
