spark plug help

just gone to take plugs out of my 2109 with 1000 miles on it to check plugs and no 1 plug will only move quarter turn then tightens up. dont want to force it for fear of stripping the thread. any ideas on cause? or how to get it out. cheers

Try tigtning it back up and run the engine for a while till its warmed up.
Then have another go at removing it.
Be carefull not to burn yourself though

tried that already using plus gas down thread at the mo,cant understand why its gone tight on a brand new engine. had them out once to check plug colour and everything was ok. i put them back in myself so i know its not cross threaded,its a mystery.just wondered if anyone has ever had a simular prob or any ideas on removing without damaging the head.
