I used to think of these as indestructable until I tried to remove a Brass! coolant temp sensor from a camel hump head. Would not budge. Traveler with 5' jack handle over a 1/2" drive breaker bar cracked the head with radial cracks from the threaded area.
Local shops could not weld, head ruined. One tried, chased crack. Hope planet earth does not chase cracks same way.
Why now I go for it with impact wrench and if that fails know in deep "trouble".
