Spark Plug Removal

RE: Spark Plug Removal
The way I do it is to use the tool that came with the bike to just loosen the spark plugs
Or I also loosen them with a very short ratchet
Then, I use a piece of rubber hose to take them out.
The rubber hose slips on the spark plug and actually gets a good hold of it allowing for just enough torque to spin it out after breaking it loose with the ratchet.
I also like to use the rubber hose to gently put the plugs in place--it is better than just dropping them in their holes and hoping that the gap/s did not change any from the drop.
All you need is about 6 inches or so of rubber hose that you can get from most auto stores for less than a buck.
