Spark plug swap tip.
For those of you who don't have specific spark plug sockets, you can turn any deep socket into a spark plug socket (one that will grip the spark plug) with a few inches of electrical tape. Simply wrap half the amount of tape around the outside and fold the rest to the inside of the socket. The plug will remain inside the socket until it it catches the threads and you pull the socket off.
saved me many hours of cursing and bleeding.

Tape certainly does come in handy! I taped my extension, swivels, etc. together recently for my spark plug change so that when you are removing your set up it dosn't come apart and fall under the engine somewhere.

I dropped my tools several times....most of it fell to the floor though. One time i did loose it in the frame, but thankfully i had a telescopic magnet tool to retrieve it...otherwise there would have been much cursing.
