Spark plug spanner - speed six

[Udo]

Does anybody know, what kind of spark plug spanner is thin and long enough to get into the narrow holes and reach the plugs?

Thanks in advance

Got mine from the Halfords professional range. Fits just right.

I simply use a tubular box spanner. They aren't long enough to get the tommy-bars trough the holes so I put a closed end wrench at the other side of the spanner.

Found a set of Facom tubular box spanners in ebay. Gave a bid and hope that the tool will be thin enough. Auction ends tomorrow. I'm curious about it.

Thank you very much

I ground a cheap plug spanner (socket) down to the correct thickness. Thakes a bit of time but the cheap method & worked well.

I got the Facom-tools at ebay

If it will be too thick, I will give it to someone with a engine lathe.

Thanks again

Succes: The Facom Spark plug spanners worked. I could use the long one for plug 1-5 and the medium one for plug 6. But I had to grind it a little bit that it comes deep enough. All spark plugs have the same light brown, I think that means that all cylinders play well

How do you intend to torque the plugs?

Spark plugs torque: ...clockwise, as strong I can:-)
