I tried to search but couldn't find anything.

Okay so I'm changing my spark plugs and after I tighten one up, the spark plug socket gets stuck and I can't move on to the next one. This is irritating me hella bad. How do I get the socket out? Every time I try either the extension comes off or the socket doesn't come with it.

Thanks.

Get some needle nose pliers and pull it off the plug. If that doesnt work just back the plug out, pull it out of the socket and try again.

I tried using the pliers but they won't fit. I've been pulling em out and trying again, and every time the socket gets stuck.

there should be a rubber thing inside of the spark plug socket, take that out and it wont get stuck.

I was also wondering what I should gap the plugs at, it's a ka24de.

put the extension in the socket and jiggle it..but not to hard or you'll break the spark plug.

stop using those sockets with the rubber peice in it. take it out or use a regular 5/8 deep well socket and put electrical tape on the sides of the socketwall. Then the spark plug stays in the socket but not like it is now.
