header plugs

I took an old socket and fashioned this mini socket. With this I can use a 3/4 wrench from under the car. I have SW headers and this tool makes it a snap on my 93.

:iagree:

Go from underneath the header tube with an open end wrench on the socket.

If you are lazy like me, you can just find a short socket like this http://i.ebayimg.com/t/5-8-CUSTOM-SH...defnQ~~_12.JPG on ebay. $13.00 shipped. For a good laugh, check out what SLP wants for thiers.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SLP-Performa..._Tools&vxp=mtr

:iagree:

i tried from underneath it was really tight,ill have to make a short socket,that looks to be the ticket.

thanks guys mike

I use an offset box end 5/8 wrench to get to a couple of my plugs. Makes it easy. Anyone carries these.
