Ady Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Hi everyone I'm trying to extract the sparkplugs from my honda blackbird. I've got a 16mm spark plug socket, but it doesn't want to grip the top of the plug!! Is there a socket dedicated for bikes??! Silly question I know, but the rubber thingy inside the socket appears to be too wide to grip the top of the plug!!! Frustrated of Lichfield! Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Or bung some of thick grease into the top of the socket. It will probably grip enough to get them out. Quote

Fozzie Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Just seen this, and I have a Blackbird! Does your socket not have a rubber grommet? Or is it just a regular socket? Just use the coil stick to pull it out, you removed it before undoing the spark plug and it does grip it lightly. Quote
