82 GT · 04-28-2001, 04:52 PM

I am posting this for a friend of mine. He has Edelbrock Aluminum heads on his '89 mustang that he just bought from a guy.
We went to check the spark plugs and noticed that the plugs won't budge!!! I am assuming that the guy didn't apply anti-seize on the plugs when he installed them and now we can't get them out!!
I have a long breaker bar that I could use but wanted to check here first to see if that is a good idea or not.
Is there another way to get them out or do we just have to use muscle power on them?
I didn't want to ruin his heads or anything so I want to find out from this board first before I do anything else.
