Changing out my spark plugs and wires. It's always the last one right and so happens to be #6.
The Spark plug itself is in #6 with the broken off rubber from the boot still around the plug. I can not get the 16mm deep socket or a 5/8 around the plug itself to remove the plug. . I can feel the socket hitting the top of the plug however around the plug is the bottom portion of the boot..I can feel and hear the socket hitting this rubber.
I have tried with a mirror to see, headlamp, flashlight..and
A) Long needle nose pliers
B)assorted mechanic picks
C)17mm socket with small rubber glove inside, thinking this would help grab the pice of boot around the spark plug and turn it.
I have worked on this for 2 days, searched the threads but did not find anything that fits what I am going through.
I ask the UD members for some help and humorist my situation. Any and all help, knowledge, and remedies would be greatly appreciated.
I thank everyone in advance.
