Changing Spark plugs....

[conelydt]

What's it take for a plug socket....I'm at work today and my son says he can't find anything to fit it???

you have to have a thin walled socket. I was told NAPA sells them, however just take a 5/8 socket and grind the outside of the socket. Be sure to do that from top to bottom. On mini trucks, I think the cylinder gradually gets more narrow where the spark plug is. you just have to grind a little and try. Trust me it is very frustrating

Did you get a tool kit with your truck? If so, you should have the appropriate long reach socket in that kit. If not, do as mentioned above or check your favorite auto parts store.

Most of the Mitsubishis I've had stored a small tool kit with a spark plug socket behind the passenger seat. It's strapped down behind the seat with a rubber band. Very thin socket, wrench, small rod for turning socket. Much like the kit that comes with a 4 wheeler or chainsaw.

Get an old 5/8 socket and grind it down to .300. I bought a duralast that micked at .360 and turned down to .300 and works great. Snap-on sockets are a good choice to get w/o needing turned down, but its still not the best. the best is getting it around .300
