Spark plug socket for a GPX600R
What size do I need? :?

 

[Whitey]

Guessing I'd say an 18 mm, that's what the NGK D8EA is.

A blo*dy long one as well..... and thin sided, i use teh one from my GPx600 toolkit (ZX600C to the colonials).

 

[Whitey]

Yeah, the only one that fits mine is a Craftsman out of the 4 other brands of 18mm I have.

Plug Socket ?

Hi guys
Just manage to get 5 mins to me self
Right I borrowed some sockets of a friend an 18 mm Socket will fit
But the one that I used was a 12 mm Plug Socket?
So my next question is.
What is the difference? Because they both fit
:?:

 

[Whitey]

Not sure I understand should be 6mm smaller and not fit any sparkplug I ever saw :?:

Plug Socket

Someone just sent me this reply to the Plug Socket question

I believe that sockets are marked for the distance between flat faces of nuts and bolts(across flats) and spark plug tools refer to the thread size of the plug - probably the diameter of the outside of the thread.

: In your case the 12mm plug socket is equipped for an 18mm A/F hex so fits an 18mm nut/bolt.
