Hi All - Is it just me or is it a struggle to get a socket on the front recessed spark plug ? I got the lead off fairly easy and i'm changing both horizontal plugs and leads . The side plug was no problem but the front plug I just can't seem to get the socket on the plug nice and square. TIA Mick
Needs to be a very thin wall socket, the standard spark plug socket in my socket set is too thick and fouls on the wall of the cylinder head, I ground an old socket down on my bench grinder.
I bought this, https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand...netic-plug-socket---14mm---3/8din-214288.html. Andy
Hi Perry - Yes I'm using the one suggested below from Amazon which is advertised as Thin walled but is still fouling on the recess wall . I might have to try the long one suggested by Android ( Andy )
Hi Andy - Thanks for that - they are showing stock at my local Halfords so may have a wander there over Xmas and comnpare with the thin wall one i already have .
