Hey,
Im trying to change my spark plugs but the one on the far right (cylinder 1?) is being exceptionally stubborn! I can't get the socket to sit on the spark plug so i can twist it out! All the others are fine but this one just won't go on. Ive tried pushing a bit harder down onto the plug with the socket but to no avail. Any ideas? Car is a 1.4 1999 206.
Cheers. Joni

You need spark plug sockets usually, there longer than normal sockets.

If I had the wrong size socket would it not fit on the other plugs though? It fits on all the rest! Just not that one! Joni

You need to use the correct sized spark plug socket.
