Hey guys,
I got a set of Bosch plugs, a cap and rotor and set to work and noticed that the plugs that were in there were the correct Bosch plugs, but they used an 11/16 (18mm) socket. The new ones I got use a 5/8. This is the first time I've been in there and so I was shocked to find how deep the plugs were in the head. I can't get the 11/16 socket in there for fear of it dropping off the extension. The hole is very tight in the valve cover, I think I could force it, but I don't want to.
Do I have to remove the valve cover to get the plugs out?
Anybody have experience with this?
thanks,
Dave
