How the hell do you get the sparkplug out? do you need some special removal tool? You just cant get in there

You need a thin wall, tube-type sparkplug socket.

There is usually one in the bike tool kit.

My MZ had the same motor and you could take the plug out with one of those. Bit of a tight fit getting it in there past the frame as I recall.

If memory serves. It was this type:

If it's anything like a nc29 you have to use magic or borrow a dwarfs hands, if you can get it loose try a length of hosepipe wedged onto the insulator that can make it easier.

Memory is gradually coming back to me.

Once you have it totally loose, you push the plug cap back onto the end and use that to pull the plug out.
