I use an old push rod with a spark plug boot on the end of it. Insert the new plug into the boot and then thread it into the spark plug hole also works with a 1/4 extension. Works great to remove the plug also after breaking it free just slide the boot over the old plug and turn.

The Hazet is the only way to go. Best spark plug wrench I've ever used.

Hey all,
I just wanted to post a follow up to my post. Sorry this took so long but work has been pretty brutal lately and I just got around to finishing my tune up yesterday.

To get right to the point, the new plug went in without any drama! I put a coating of copper anti-seize on the threads (did it to all the plugs actually) and it screwed right in. It did have a little more resistance than the other plugs but I was able to get the proper torque on the plug and now the engine runs great!

Thank you to all who gave me advice throughout this.

Take care,
-Michael
