The skinny:
Spark plug helicoil is going bad - uncoiling out of the socket. I know that I want to timesert it to fix the problem.

BUT

Since the socket has a helicoil in it (that needs to come out) what size timecert do I need to get?

ALSO

How do I get the bad helicoil out of the head without doing further damage to the head? The head is off the engine, so I am not worried about bits of coil falling into the cylinder.

This site has MANY sert options, but I don't know which one I need. HELP?!
