#6 spark plug removal?
 
1973 911T, can remove all spark plugs without problems except plug #6...socket tool does not seat on plug, have tried different sockets.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try to blow compressed air you might have some small rock .

Thanks for the tip....had not thought of that, so I got out the small telescopic service mirror and flashlight and could see two 1/4 inch stones overlapping the plug shoulders, tried to blow them out with compressed air but they just rattled around and stayed there, so I hooked up the shop-vac and necked down hose to a rubber fuel line with duct tape and sucked both up easily!!!
But, the funny thing is that the two stones were actually "cherry pits".....mice??? Those little b*****ds!!! Thanks again for the idea and help.
