What size socket are you trying to use? Have you not done this before on the MX? Do you have deep enough extensions, especially for the rear bank?
i bought a ignition tune up kit and the socket has the rubber in the inside. that's what i dont get, the new plugs fit good but for some reason the old ones wont hold. i guess i'll just have 2 spend 80 bucks and let pep boys do it. just doesnt seem that complicated to me.
You're going to pay $80 to get your spark plugs changed because you can't buy a $3 magnetic pick up tool? If you want to waste $80, give it to me and I'll kick you in the nuts.
Let's start on the front bank cause it's easier. Have you pulled out all of those long extension plugs that snap to the top of the valve cover and to the top of the spark plug. At the end of those extensions is a fat insulating rubber piece. Make sure that one of these did not get left behind and is still attached to the top of the spark plug. By pulling all 3 front plugs you should be able to eassily determine if one of those insulators was left behind. BTW, the spark plug socket I've been using for years is 5/8's
is there oil in there? theres little rubber gaskets on ends of ignition wires, make sure its pulled out with ignition wire, sometimes they get stuck in there
