#119402, "spark plug socket?" Apr-23-07 10:02 AM by gsgoingT
can someone tell me which socket do you guys use. I bought 13/16(i think), it fits spark plug but it wont fit inside spark plug hole? so i'm wondering if there is special socket for our cars?

i checked mine plug wrench, and its a 5/8 inch. You have to use a deep socket or a "spark plug socket". Spark plug sockets have a rubber ring inside of the socket, to hold the plug when its loose and your trying to pull it out. A normal socket isn't deep enough to fit over the plug. If your using a normal deep socket, it may be to wide to fit down into the hole.
Hope you get it. Its the first step to working on this car for the rest of your life!!!
