Spark plug socket size

Post by -Tom »

My spark plug is due for replacement and I want to buy a T-bar spark plug removal tool for the job. Can anyone tell me what size I need?

Thanks!

Thanks logepoge1. I was looking for mm and must have overlooked the inches on many of the sites.

I'm thinking of buying this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRAPER-13867- ... 0574041222

If anyone has any better suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Thanks again!

What was shattered? The spark plug or the wrench?
