cmmetcalf Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hey guys,I was wondering how long of an extension am I going to need to reach the spark plugs using my socket wrench? Varies. I use a wobbly head 3/8" drive with 6" extension with a 5/8" Plug socket (has rubber plug holder in it---not a standard one) or you can't get the plug out after it is loose. On some models I also use a 3/8" universal joint on the plug socket end in order to get the whole assembly in. I usually use anti-seize on the plug threads (do not get it on the electrode). I mount the 3/8" universal joint on the plug socket add the extension and screw the plug in until hand tight. Then I stick the rachet on and finish it up. Don't overtighten.
