Default Little problem...with 8cyl spark plug wire..

OK so i was changing out the spark plugs and ran into sum problems getting the plugs off especially 6cyl,8cyl after that #6cyl out slight rip on plug and #8 cyl plug came out but broke off the Lil electric connector on the spark plug and when i go to put my spark plug socket to get it out my socket gets stuck.

So i need to get a pair of skinny needle nose pliers to get my socket out and buy new plug wires.... and stubbed n cut my finger a bit .


So i know its a long shot but if anyone in AZ can help me out or if they have a skinner needle nose plier i can use or if they wanna help lmk.

Located in Chandler,AZ

thx kenny

use a wire hanger, bend the tip like a hook, put it in and hook the socket out .... Yeah some sockets has a thick rubber inside and gets stuck on the plug and it comes off from the extension..... wire hanger is your friend on this one
