SignUp Now!I am down to the last spark plug .Can someone give me some pointers on the easiest way to get it out ? It was late I was tired figured someone would have some tricks
A long extension and a swivel works great.

same here works good, no need for a swivel.I use a spark plug socket that has a 3/4 head molded into it at the end. Put the socket on the plug and then use a regular ratchet with a regular 3/4 socket on it and use that to drive the spark plug socket. Gives me just the right amount of distance
to not have to use the swivel. But the swivel and extension work too. Problem with the swivel I always had was I would crack the insulator one in a while with the torque being applied at a angle.

just remove the AC box
Actually, I took the female drive end off a junk 1/4" socket and cut the 3/8" drive off of the sparkplug socket and welded the 1/4" stuff to the sparkplug socket. Can now use 1/4" drive ratchet....this has to be what the other guys are also sayin...NOT 3/4" LOL! I also used to have trouble getting even the boot off #6. Now,since I have sectioned the heater box removing the evap coil I can now change HG even with studs in...hahahhah
