Default What size socket to remove spark plugs?!

I thought all plugs were 5/8? I tried 5/8 and it's too small. Looks like a 11/16 or bigger. My problem is I don't have anything larger than a 5/8 at home so I'm stuck until Monday. Thanks!

Default Re: 17mm? USe the end of the wheel bolt wrench in your spare tire kit.

Look inside.............there's a rubber o ring to trap a spark plug.

You have the tool with you all the time...........
if the kits is there..........

Default Bad ***!

I know I have that tool, I'll look to see if the rubber is still in there. Will it work without the rubber gasket?

Yes it will work without the rubber insert, just won't "trap" the plug in the end.....
