Attaching the Rubber Insert in the Klein 21

[HarryD]

The rubber insert that hold the spark plug inside my factory spark plug tool decided to separate from the metal tool. It does not appear to be damaged. How do I reattach so it does not come off when I install a spark plug.


TIA.

I used similar rubber hose size wise(you can modify it a little with a grinder on the edges),pushed it in so it is snug and use zep45 lubricant spray in the area where the plug goes....the dry rubber will stay in place..

Here's a basic question. Is there a source for new rubber?

I glued my old rubber back in place with that yellow, 3M rubber weather seal stick-em goo. Seems to work good on rubber to metal.

And then put a schmeer of dielectric grease inside the rubber so the plugs won't pull it out again.

Thanks smadsen. I will try a smear of the yellow goo.

eastbay, sounds like a good idea to help the plug separate.
