They don't have any more and will need size able order to produce more although they have them for other applications.

I use the socket on the left with a swivel and 3in extension all welded together.
I had the same issue.
I just ground a little off the socket to make it work.
I have the Porsche tool but prefer mine.

I could get the plug partially unscrewed then it would hit the oil cooler. first time I ever had that happen
