rear spark reach

changing rear spark plugs on a 10964 stock sc engine

The rear front ones? I think the tool kit plug socket is really pretty good. It’s skinny enough to pass the manifold and I feel like it helps you align it better than one with universal joints, which some prefer.

Not too difficult with a 3/8 wobbly drive and a short flex ratchet with magnetic plug socket.

Here's one I found that works for me.

Thomas; what's your question??

[Wes Bender]

..maybe he's just making a statement. He hasn't posted much lately and I wondered what he was doing.

Over the years I have found that having a complete set of 1/4 inch drive sockets with a long handled flex head ratchet as well as the normal ones makes you repair situation easier. I have my set in a small snap on tool container that is about the size of a brick as used in the outside of a home. I would be astounded at the cost from snap on (who's tools are made in Taiwan) I think you will find something pleasing to your pocket book. zim

+1 to Al--Homedepot, Lowes, OSH all have a good selection of tools now.

For insertion, I use a rubber hose expressly made for that. That way you never cross the threads. ..........Jim.

[Mike Wilson]

Great idea, Jim. I found this spark plug connector in the street one day. It works great. As Jim says, you won't cross thread because you have a very sensitive feel using it vs. a socket.

Thanks guys I think after 35x years I Iwas looking for an easier way as I get older and less nimble age is a Bi——- stay well with

[Martin Benade]

There is an easier way- pay someone to do it. That may be a very foreign idea to you but if you wouldn’t like changing your own plugs, have it done. Your car is for your enjoyment.

I use the rubber hose method partly for the feel, but also because it can be frustrating to retrieve a plug after it slips out of the socket behind the sheet metal.

That's why I have one of those telescopic magnetic thingies in order to fetch wayward plugs. I also use anti-seize to help thread the plugs...
