Have you got the special tool (looks like an extended box spanner)? Have you tried welding a scaffold pole to its end? :rolleyes:

on my 2ltr 1995 i used the standard type spark plug socket with a 3 and 6 inch extension and ratchet,i connected the socket and 6 inch extension together then slid that half way down the hole then attached the 3 inch bar and ratchet and hey presto changed the plugs,a bit fiddly connecting/disconnecting the extensions etc but i found it the easiest way.

AND BUGGER ME pi**ing around for 45 minutes changing the plugs and 3 of the new ones were duff i couldnt F@*&ING believe it,thinking back i gotta laugh.

good luck

:rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol:
