I am trying to change the plugs in my 99 eclipse,I don't have a socket that will fit the hole where the plugs are.I know it has to be a deep well but none of the auto shops have one that will fit.What is the socket called so I can order it from snap-on.Thanks

 

WAIT!!! you don't need to order any expensive tools from snap on. i have a 99 eclipse and you don't need all that crap, i went to K-Mart and bought a 3 plug puller set, it's simply 3 sizes of sockets to fit almost any plug. get an 8in extention, snap it onto any wratchet and there you go. easy and cheaper than going an paying 40 to have it done for you.

 

thanx alot,you just saved me some money.I'll try that.

 

yea you should be able to get them almost anywhere, two good places would be either sears or autozone. Its just called a spark plug tool. its ussually a long socket and like he said you might need an extention on the wrench.

 

The spark plug socket is a deep well socket with a rubber insert to grip the plug and assist with pulling it out and installing a new one. ALL my tools are Mac and Snap On damnit (INCLUDING my plug socket MUAHAHAHAHHA)

 

Well hell,I did it again...this is the first time I have changed the plugs on this car and when I got the plugs I had wrote down the wrong part number...lol.I got the 13/16 plugs,thats why I couldn't get the plug socket in the plug hole...LOL.I got the right ones now and they are already in the car,thanx
