What is the correct deep well socket to remove the spark plugs? None of the ones I have seem to fit. I have already removed the AI.

Needs to be a thin walled socket. Sears sells one that actually fits...

Kobalt from Lowes works but lacks a rubber insert to capture the plug. I use a length of rubber tubing after the plug is loose and also to reseat it.

I have the Sears 18mm Sparkplug socket and it works great. About $6.50

Thanks guys, that is a tight spot in there. I will see if I can pick up the 18mm socket at Sears.
