I had to re thread one of the spark plug holes on my parents for explorer, the thread kit I used, which looks very similar to the one you are showing wouldnt let me get the tap screwed in even with thin wall sockets.
I wound up having to grind down the tap until it fit a much smaller socket. Then to get to the spark plug hole with the ratchet to drive it in, I went through the wheel well, but I had to use 2 feet worth of extensions to clear the fender, so I needed a second person to watch the tap go in so I didnt screw that up. It would have been easier and quicker to remove the engine as it took almost 10 hours, for one spark plug!!!! And I'm also sure that I got some shavings in the cylinder too. In the end it did work, and now, 40k later that spark plug is still in there

What really pisses me off is that I was on my way to get bike oil and when I got back I was so distracted thqt I refilled my bike with the drain plug still out! 3 qts of Lucas racing full synthetic in the pan... That hurts almost more than the plug.... |
