Hey Mike, to replace the plugs I just use a deep socket on a standard 3 1/2"
extension - its pretty easy to feel the hole and get the plug going. I don't
use my spark plug socket because it grips the plug too tightly and it wants
to stay in the hole.

Keep your mind out of the gutter please!  ;)  .
