How to Hold Spark Plug in Socket?

[Trav]

Is that the one that uses a 12 point socket? Do they make a 12-point spark plug socket with a rubber grommet?

AFAIK it uses a 6pt 5/8 = 16mm, if this plug has a longer insulator it may need a longer socket. There are sockets with finger inserts like OE (Hazet) or magnetic, a rubber insert in a socket is not the best thing to use on plugs installed deep in a hole.

I use magnetic spark plug sockets. Thread with my fingers, slowly, and take my time. I’ve yet to have an issue.

I vacuum the plug area before removal, during and after removal. I don't want any debris getting into the cylinders.
