removing V6 spark plugs?!

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

The idle on my '93 90 (V6) has been a little varied lately, and since it
has 5 original spark plugs (~54000 miles) and one replaced plug (~30000
miles) I figured maybe it was time to check them out.
The only problem is, I can't *get* them out!  I got my handy little
spark plug wrench from a metric socket set that was about 10 years
old--it was far too big to fit in the little hole around the spark
plugs.  So I bought a new one that looked smaller--no dice.
Is there some trick to this that I'm missing?  Do I just need a smaller
socket?

Thanks

"I hear some people apologize for their inability to express themselves,
and pretend to have their heads full of good things which they cannot
bring out through lack of eloquence. This is a delusion. These are
shadows cast upon upon their minds by some half-shaped ideas which they
cannot disentangle and clear up inwardly, and therefore are unable to
express outwardly; they do not understand themselves."
