hex bolt not on spark plug

[ryd0rz]

I have recently put an engine in a 95 eclipse (2 weeks ago). The car has a stutter on idle and a stutter under 2 grand rpm. I then thought to change the spark plugs. I got three of them changed, and one of them does not have a hex bolt on the body of the plug. There is nothing there for the socket to latch onto because there is no hex bolt. I thought how could there be no hex bolt? And then i thought someone probably tried to get the spark plug out so hard that they twisted it the wrong way and the hex bolt came off... is this possible?

Is there a tool to remove spark plugs that have stripped or missing hex bolts?

I have never come across this problem, should i try to take off valve cover and see if i can fit vice grips in there?

Should i try to break spark plug and use easy out?

It's my 21st birthday today, so i might not even need it tonight anyway... for that matter tomarrow either... but any help would be appreciated.

Sears, Jegg's, JC Whitney and other stores sell "easy out" kits. They come in all sizes. This may work.

Take a picture(s) if you can. I would like to see what this situation looks like.

Sorry to bother u guys... i ended up fixing it by jb kwik welding a nut onto the top of the spark plug. Worked like a charm and the car stopped stuttering!

Thanks
