Default help getting out last spark plug on pass side...

I can't for the life of me remember what combination I used to remove the spark plug closest to the firewall on the pass side of mt last GT. I can get the socket in the whole but then I never can get it on the actual plug.....any advice?

6 pack of brew (even though it's early), patience, and pull out your arsenal of swivels and short extensions.

Get a socket with a swivel and use wobble extensions.

man I don't know, I never had any trouble at all with mine. I believe I just had the extension and spark plug socket. Remove the wrench from the socket and just use your hand, then put the wrench on.

The spark plug bore is slanted slightly...just a FYI... Just have a little patience and it should slide right on there.. Try a small amount of lube on the rubber part inside the socket.

Forgot about the lube, lube is the answer to every tight situation

Make sure there is nothing preventing the socket from going onto the plug. Once I did sparkplugs for somebody and there was a piece of an acorn shell jammed b/t the plug and the bore.
