15646, Spark plug change
Posted by narowxcape, Feb-24-02 01:28 AM
I am in the process of trying to change my spark plugs, but the spark plug socket, as well as a regular deep well socket will not fit in the hole in the valve cover. Does it require a special tool to get in there? TIA for any help.

You're not using the right spark plug socket. Thier is two sizes 5/8 and 13/16.
