If anyone could suggest anything to fix that,would be great.

I have the rubber insert type. I've had it come off before and it was a pain so I remove the inserts and just use a old hose to pull the plugs out after I loosen them.

I have 2 spark plug sockets, but this is my preferred one: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/gear-...ark+plug+socket

The swivel design is nicer to use compared to standard sockets.

This set rocks with one hang up, sometimes i just want a socket... But they sure help on 4.3 blazer installs. Even comes with that stupid 9/16 ford socket
