I use a plug specific socket with a partial rubber insert and a variety of extensions and elbows depending on which cylinder I'm working on.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Just found this in the service manual and I am wondering if I could have cracked my new spark plugs when I put them in. Do you guys use this mysterious spark plug tool NR.14? I looked online to purchase one and I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe I am just being paranoid as I used a proper spark plug socket with a rubber piece inside when I installed them. Just wondering what you guys do.

POST 2Original post

I believe it is just a longer than normal spark plug socket (5" long) and is magnetic and thin walled. It's design intent is to protect against damaging the ceramic on the spark plug , as well as making it easy to extract via the magnetism. Pelican Parts has been referenced in a couple of posts for one brand of such a socket, but they are currently out of stock.

I use a plug specific socket with a partial rubber insert and a variety of extensions and elbows depending on which cylinder I'm working on. The most important thing is to go slow and manually start each plug's threads with your fingers and chosen extensions. Establishing that the plug is not cross threaded with your fingers and socket set up is key and easily accomplished if you take your time.

This is a Gearwrench spark plug socket that I used. It uses a magnetic holder and has a small swivel to it. Worked perfectly when used with appropriate extensions. A big plus 1 on the hand threading to start out. I usually turn counterclockwise until I can feel the engagement. Then slowly turn to tighten. Crossthreading would be a huge bummer.
