Anybody having problem removing their spark plug with Sears socket. I tried to remove spark plug with 5/8 spark plug socket and it will not fit into the hole. ANyone has the same problem, does it required a thinner socket?

 

yes, its a smaller spark plug socket....i wanna say 1/2, but im not 100% sure. I just know i tried the same thing and had to go get the smaller socket

 

I think i used a 13/16 for it. Im betting the correct size is metric though

 

Sorry I forgot i use the ngk's not the stock ones.

 

Guess it's 13/16

 

stock plugs are NGK...LOL

and they aren't metric

 

i think the 13/16 is the one thats too big. Either the 5/8 is too small or its the one. I took a quick glance at my tools and those are the only 2 i see. I can't remember, i just knew the one i had was too big

 

13/16th's is what I've been using.. I'm not sure if it's the exact one but it's worked fine.

 

It's 13/16.

 

yes, it is. Just tried it.(it was buggin me). I remember now, wheni changed mine, the one i was using wouldn't go onto the spark plug(too small).

the 13/16 barely fits in the hole, but it fits the plug! Sorry for the confusion

 

I'm not sure what brand mine is but they make one that is a little thinner.. it also has a piece of felt inside with a hole so you can pull your plugs out with it.. pretty nice you just have to be carefull.

 

Thanks for all the info, I will get the right socket

 

it's the same size as your wheel bolts but with the rubber spark plug holder inside...

13/16 spark plug socket fits perfect into the spark plug hole. making it air tight for it to go in and out without shaking the plugs.

 

definaty 13/16, I just changed mine today..I used a snap-on socket if it makes any difference
