Re: Subject: removing V6 spark plugs



There is another way ... Get the wrench that came with the V6 cars, it has a 
rubber insert that holds the spark plug and is firmly attached to the rod 
portion of the tool. I understand that APE usually has them.

 Other tip when doing this, use tape to join your extensions and socket
 head so that you dont end up (or nearly in my case) with a lost socket
 head.
