Spark Plug Removal

In the FAQ section I read about how to get spark plugs out.
I recently purchased a tool from Snap-On that made it very easy for me.
It slides down the spark plug with a hex opening like a socket and has an external hex that accepts a 5/8" wrench up around the porceline.

My Camero has headers and I found it easier to remove most of the plugs from the bottom. I imagine stock mainfolds would be about the same.

The part number is S9724RHS. you can get off the truck, and it's well worth the money spent.

Re: Spark Plug Removal

I've found it to be a royal pain in the *** to do it from the top or bottom with my headers, I think its worth the money to let someone else do it unless you got an engine crane and you can lift your engine up a tad.

Re: Spark Plug Removal

You can also buy a craftsman 1/2" drive spark plug socket, and cut it in half. Slide it over the plug and use a wrench to crack it loose. Cheap and very effective if you have headers.
