    Hi
    I have a 94 348 GTS and have changed the plugs to NGK DR8 6681 but what I did notice was my socket rubber insert was to big to catch the plug.
    My question is how do you get them out if the socket wont catch them.

    Thanks
    Tom

    Rubber hose as stated above or, wrap the end lip of your socket with electrical tape(1 or 2 rounds) and then tuck the excess into the teeth of the socket. Test for snugness with spare spark plug.

    A better socket. I wore out so many of the rubber inserts I gave up on them. Get a plug socket with a magnet.

    I use the same "magnet on a stick" for retrieving run away 10mm sockets. Works well
