Ah! Need help ASAP (with spark plug)

O.K I have a 98' Yamaha blaster. Having some serious spark plug issues. The metal tab is literally stuck in the boot......it won't come out, so do I need to replace the boot, metal tab and plug?

Are you talking about the piece that screws on top of the plug? If so try and find a long skinny bolt to go in it or grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If you get it out ok make sure you clean it up real good.

Screw the plug back in it and then pull it out. Maybe spray it with some wd-40 first. Its always good to put a new plug in anyway.
