Yea, I will try another Tool/buy one. I Might try a Motorcycle/Chainsaw socket. Thanks, Mike

Plain old 1/2" drive 13/16 deep socket. NOT a spark plug socket.

You are correct Sir. My eyes are getting bad. I thought it was a 3/4 inch, not 13/16.
I will go shopping soon to find the best socket. Thanks.

Re: Need a correct socket for Spark Plugs
I know this is an old post, but maybe someone else is searching for the same. I just pulled plugs on an A2 to reduce compression and was starting to panic about having a socket that would work, when I read this post and it sounded like a thin walled socket was the answer. I went out and found my stash of plumbers sockets, the kind that come on a long "G" clip to keep them all together. For faucets and fixtures nuts way down behind the sink or cabinet. One of them was the perfect size, fit perfectly and you run a long phillips head or other round tool through the two holes at the end to provide torque.
So if you need to purchase something to get your spark plugs in and out, hit harbor freight or one of the big box stores and get a whole set of these for under $10 and they may come in handy for other uses as well.
