Use an open-ended wrench, like a combination wrench, or a crescent wrench. I went and bought a socket, then discovered that there wasn't enough clearance for the socket to fit onto the plug with the exhaust where it is. -L   Kristopher March (Apexdisco) Member Username: Apexdisco Post Number: 135 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:40 pm:    I second that. Get a large crescent wrench and that should do the trick. I did the same thing; bought a socket and it's not usable for this task.
