Removing spark plugs with ACT manifolds..??

[thenick]

Hi all, just in the process of installing the new Emerald bits and come across an annoying problem... I can get all of the spark plugs out except the rear passenger side one due to the deep socket I have not being able to get on to the plug because the manifold is in the way. It is an ACT sports set so probably slightly different routing to the standard ones but i'm sure it can't be too much different to the originals. So are there any special shaped tools out there or clever methods I can use that mean I don't have to remove the manifolds for one spark plug?!

If you get yourself a plain ordinary plug socket with an external hex, you can get an adjustable open ender on it from almost any angle. You only need the spanner to unstick the plug and then it will spin off by hand. This is a handy get-out-of-jail card to have in case your usual plug spanners let you down.

Great thanks Peter, i'll try this as soon as the shops re-open!
