[s-cars] Help! How do I get the spark plugs out of an AAN???

[Paul Heneghan]

Hello Bob (x2) and Tony,

You're right - the spark plug sockets (with the rubber grommets) in my
metric socket set are labelled 16mm and 21m.  They probably are actually
5/8" and 13/16", but everything gets rounded off to the nearest mm for
labelling purposes.

Paul

The plugs are actually 5/8", which is slightly less than 16mm.  A 16mm
socket will have a little more slop, but will work.  The access bore is
a tight fit so if you're having a problem with a 16mm socket you may
want to try a true 5/8" spark plug socket.  Are actual spark plug
sockets - the ones that have rubber grommets in them to hold the plug -
in Europe sized as 5/8" and 13/16", or 16mm & 21mm?
