Went to do a basic tune up this morning and must have spent an hour, at least, just getting #1 plug removed on my 96' Glastron. What a PITA! Took about an hour to do the other 5 plugs. There's a water hose and elbow right in front of the plug that made using a spark plug socket near impossible. Finally decided to search online for some sort of special socket or wrench. That led to cutting down a stock length socket enough to make it work. I cut off about half the depth of the hex that you put the extension in and then used a grinder to trim the spark plug end down. All total I reduced the socket length by about 5/16". That did the trick. Whew!
