Yamaha spark plug tool
Submitted by BJPK on Mon, 2017-01-16 12:18
Looking to fo the plugs on my 60hp 4 stroke yammy soon.
Is there a special thin walled tool available to remove them.?
If there is were is the best place to buy or order one from?
As from memory a standard vehicle sparkplug socket doesnt work due to the walls being to thick to get in there. (Was the case on my old 50hp anyway)
Thanks in advance

I cant remember the size but
I cant remember the size but I bought a thin walled socket from super cheap auto I think and chopped it down to fit the bottom one easily and drilled a new hole for the bar to fit. I change plugs every 300 hours and they still look pretty good. Just dont do them up to tight. When they are new the squash washers on them are pretty soft so only hand tight plus half a turn or so which doesnt feel very tight.
