I’m gonna pick one of these up and was wondering if anyone here has tried one? My only concern is the depth of the socket part itself.. could be a little short?

Just use a socket and extension, you should be torquing the plugs with aluminium heads. You have to be GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip to use that to remove old plugs from a cylinder head. At least in my experience. Good points. I like this for the simplicity of it. Easy to recognize as the spark plug wrench and easy to put your hands on quickly. "Oh there's my plug wrench" - rather than searching/fumble around with the correct ratchet, extension and socket.. That's gotten old already. This should work for at least the initial R&R.. then follow up with a torque wrench, which was always ideal anyways. Do plugs tend to stick in heads that are in regularly use? or just in ones that have been sitting in a field for several years? - LMK, I'm really not sure on that. I think I've read anti-seize on the plug threads, as a recommendation? |
