I might be making this up but I'm sure I saw a plug spanner that had the shaft that was (bare with me) a sort of compressed sping and very flexible it is the sort of thing you get as a flexy adapter with the little screw diver bit sets


Like this

Anyway I can't seem to find any and want one for the TDM as doing the Plugs is a proper bastard.

See the Orange and green wire if you squint and look very closly you can almost see a plug cap, the other is behind the water pump. Evil or Very Mad

There are flexible socket extensions just like that, coupled with a deep socket/spark plug socket and 3/8 drive socket wrench I think you'd be set! Spark plug sockets have a rubber insert to catch the plug and lift it out, you can just use a deep socket though and use the plug cap/a magnet to retrieve the plug Cool .


Like these:

Or this:

Just google flexible socket extension and find the cheapest Thumbs Up.

I want a whole unit, as I can see it coming off and me leaving with a socket stuck in there.

I got one of these from Halfrauds, not sure if it's as bendy as you need though.
