Spark Plug removal instructions

I work on BMW and Minis. The 12pt double hex sockets are fine for this job as the single hex is hard to find. Even a regular length double hex socket costs about AU$40 for a Japanese made Kokon brand socket. Not cheap but these are good tools. Use the tool properly and you wont round the head - ie. keep some downwards pressure on the ratchet head and hold it so the socket is square on the plug. The insulator section of the plug is what prevents most of the wonkyness because the socket's plug gripping mechanism centres it at the same time.
