Good evening everybody,

For those of you who installed your sparkplugs, what kind of socket did you use to install the new sparkplugs. I used a 14mm 3/8 drive deep socket to remove the existing spark plugs but when I go to tighten the new ones in, the socket that is attached to a extension comes undone. Since the hole is deep, there is absolutely no way to reach and get the socket undone and when i try to put the extension back into the socket and pull out, it does the same exact thing and gets undone. Any advice. Thanks everyone!
