You are fortunate, very fortunate that was all the problem you had.
I bought a used Chevy RWD station wagon, 1992, some fifteen years ago; it had a goodly number less than 100,000 miles on it.I decided to change the spark plugs as it had a some time miss.
Wires came off fine, none of the plugs on the side I started with came out, they broke off.Took it back to the diearler I got it from, he said he would do it.
They had to pull the cylinder head off, the plugs were fused in.He showed me what was left of the plugs.
I told him to keep the car and give me my money back.
I still change plugs, even the spendy ones, fairly often.
Yes; sometimes with technical advances, new problems are presented. Used to be I religiously changed plugs, points and condenser at 12,000 miles.
Now days, plugs are expected to go 100,000 miles, so often they are very set in place when it comes time to change.
My nephew until a couple years ago when he sold it, had a auto repair shop which took care of cars others were afraid of.
He did the regular Ford, GM and Chrysler stuff....but I liked to visit his shop, because often as not, he would have perhaps a Aston Martin, Sunbeam Tiger, Porsche or Ferrari in the shop.
But back to the subject.. Whenever he changed plugs, he had some kind of material that worked like anti-seize, that he would apply to the replacement plugs !
He recommends changing at the least at 50,000 miles, and use his anti seize mix.
