G310 - SPARK PLUG SOCKET

[Hay Ewe]

Starting a new thread for this one, in case somebody else is searching in the future.

How does one remove with the spark plug?
Its waaaaayyyy down there.

The on board tool kit doesnt have plug socket / spanner in it (I check the IPC on MaxBMW as well)

How do you all do it?
Where did you get a tool from?

Like for the 1100 and 1150, it needs to be thin wall and looooonnggg.

Thank you for your info

Turns out that was easy enough, even in the area i live.
Got a Toledo 3/8 Sq Drive, 14mm long. Thin wall, does what it says on the box.

Thanks for sharing, useful for people to know. Son has one, but not needed to do plugs yet

Nice one. I had a similar issue with a car once. The answer was to buy a really cheap and nasty socket - decent quality ones had thicker walls but the POS version was flimsy enough to fit down the tunnel. And I tell other folks never to buy cheap tools...

There was a cheaper one, but this Toledo is plenty long enough.
