Sucks!! Even with my small girly hands, I managed to break one spark plug, and gash my finger. Still couldn't change the 6th one! Thanks again for the help Keith!
A 24" extension really helps. That way you can stick it down there and still be able to use the ratchet out of the way of the engine. All you need to do is be able to fit your hands so you can get the socket on securely.
