Header sockets
Been scratching and scraping my hands enough getting to the plugs behind my headers! Did a web search and posted on a couple forums looking for specialized spark plug tool's. Then found HeaderSockets! Just got off the phone with Scott, nice guy. He doesn't have a distributor, sells direct off his web site. Has anyone used these sockets?

Those look nice, but it isn't too hard to modify your own spark plug sockets. I have both some 5/8 and 13/16 sockets that I have cut shorter, and notched so they can go on the plug sideways. You also may beed to drill out the end that the ratchet or extension slips into... so the tip of the plg can protrude through. Wes

Some plug sockets have a hex head already. You can use a socket over the hex instead of the extension to get a LITTLE more room. OR use a wrench over it.
After breaking loose, put a length of 3/8 vacuum hose over the plug terminal and twist for easy out!
