Stuck Spark plugs
 
So i did my plugs last year and my car was running a bit funky so i decided to pull the plugs and see what they look like, and when i went to go take them out all of them were EXTREMELY tight to take out. I didnt even pull them all because i dont want to do any damage to my motor. I dont know if theres any potential danger in just using a lot of force to get them out or what. I didnt use any wd-40 or pb blaster. I just want to make sure theres no hazards to ripping them out. Any tips would be appreciated

Use a longer ratchet (or a regular ratchet with a steel pipe on the end) to get some extra torque to remove them. It's not uncommon for them to get stuck due to temperature changes and such. Your local auto parts store sells an anti-seize compound you can put on the threads so they will come out much easier in the future.
