Default A little sparkplug change problem
Putting some new sparkplugs in but my two of my wires left behind the little rubber grommet around the spark plugs themselves. Any quick tips on how to get these little grommets out... I tried "fishing" it with the plugs themselves but it aint working out... any tips or tools that can make this spark plug change a little less headache

Happened to me too, used some thin stiff wire with a hook at the end. If you do this with the plug(s) out, don't get anything into the cylinder!

This happened to me a few years back. I put a drywall screw in it and then pulled it out with a pair of pliers.
