What rubbery part? Try starting the car with the spark plug out and see if it shoots out of the hole.

the bottom part that is suppose to fit on the spark plug seems to be missing on the both plugs on the left side. which leads to believe y the spark plug socket cant grip it. the right two when i look at the plug wire have a rubber fitting around the part that goes to the bottom of the spark plug. the right two catch on the spark plug socket.

i've tried using needle nose but the spark plug is to tight to pull out and i think i chipped the side part that houses it. i looked in their for the rubber part that should fit over the plug wire and it doesnt look like its down their any ideas? arent all the spark plugs suppose to be the same size?

No they are not, I mean they are suppose to be the same across all 4 cylinders but not every car uses the same size spark plugs. If you can take 1 spark plug out, what is preventing you from taking the others out. 3/8 5/8 and 13/16 are common spark plug socket sizes, you need the special socket to get em out. I'm not sure what you are referring to, do you have pictures.

thats wut im wondering, i can take the right two out fine, but the left two seem like they are a different size? i have spark plug socket with the rubber thing inside the nut. i used the 5/8 on the right im going to look to see if i have a 3/8 socket to see if that works on the other two. last time i had a mechanic change my spark plugs and he seemed to know honda wells i wonder y he would put two different size spark plugs in.
