Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Not sure what you mean ? I use a spark plug socket that is extra deep, with a rubber retaining collar inside. Works a treat. Important to use a sliding t-handle, rather than a ratchet, so you keep the socket upright, and apply even pressure to both sides of the t-handle. If you use a ratchet, there is a risk of snapping the ceramic part of the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CageyH Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The magnetic one is what you want. Does a better job and is easier to remove when you have fitted the Plugs. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If money is no object buy a plug socket from Snap-on. They grab hold of the plug without the use of a rubber insert (the rubber loses its grip after a while) and release the plug with a wriggle. You would then need an extension bar and t-bar. With out checking I think they are 14mm. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I use a normal plug spanner an for the last bit use a piece of rubber pipe with a diameter slighlty smaller than the plug to remove it. the same piece of pipe at the other end has a bolt attached fiited inside so the plug can be fitted making sure no cross threading is possible.
