Spark plug removal

I can't fit behind most of the header tubes to remove my spark plugs.. is there a smaller socket, or a different tool for this? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard🤣

Thanks
Chris

In short, there is a LOT of very poor advice and opinion in that comedy.

Re: Spark plug removal

"Set the gap on the diode..." Really?

"Get them from the bottom since it's easier..." Maybe for a gnome, elf, or leprechaun.

But I digress, I have no videos posted which show how to turn a wrench, right-hand thread, of course.
