I cant get these things out, my 18 mm craftsmen socket wont fit, motion pro socket wont work either, i even ground down a ace hardware socket and still no luck, i cant find a store that sells thin walled sockets

I DO NOT HAVE THE TOOL KIT so any reply's saying its in the tool kit are not helping, unless you know how to purchase one.

So any avenues I know Mac tool makes a socket but i cant seem to get a hold of a distributor

 

Maybe something like this will work?? They usually sell them at Home Depot individually.

Shine a light down there, is there something on top of it? I sometimes find remnants of old spark plug wires, sludge from leaky valve cover grommets, and rubber boots from other people's spark plug sockets left behind on the plugs which prevents the sockets from fitting. I've also found improperly sized spark plugs down in the holes.

I once found a 9/16" plug down the tube of an old GSXR, I find 18mm plugs down the tubes of Ford F150s all the time (normally 5/8" plugs). Shine a light down there and look or grab an extra deep socket set and start dropping random sizes down there to see which one fits.

Your local dealer can order a tool kit plug wrench


If your bike takes the same SP as the 04 599 you might be able to use this wrench

So what i have found out is that my local dealer and other bike shop fail on advice, sold me the wrong plugs a size to big, the entire time it was 16mm, as i went with slomofos advice and dropped different size sockets down the whole. A bite annoyed that i was told it was 18 mm from the dealer.
Also what i have found is they have discontinued making the OEM tool for my bike, the only way to get one is to order the entire kit.
Discourage about the Honda dealer sucking, this is not the first time they have told me something wrong, This may be my last Honda project bike

 

Glad it was as simple as a wrong size. It could've been a lot worse...

I bet whoever dropped those plugs down there is used to working on cars and just got whatever plugs they assumed would work best because 16mm = 5/8" which is the most common size for small four cylinder car engines.
