Spark Plug Socket - recomendation please.

[Pacific]

Can anyone recommend me a spark plug removal tool for a 2017 GS?

I've tried the one in my tool roll that worked with my 2009 bike and it doesn't fit.

Many Thanks

Mark

Thanks Smogbob, I've got one one those and it works with the WC.

It's the tool to remove the actual plug that I'm looking for (rather than the coil).

Thanks

Normally you only need a 14mm socket and a long extension bar

Thanks. I'll pop into the auto factors on the way home.

This is a gedore tool so lifetime warranty, and good stuff I use mostly Gedore, just as good as snapon

The bmw mini plug socket fits, its thinwall 3/8 drive, cheap on e bay £1.50 upwards

I needed some other items, so just bought it from Nippy Normans.
Thanks for your help.

Halfords slim 3/8 spark plug socket

even better would be a 1/4 inch one.

Do not get 1/2 inch ever!

The temptation to give a 1/2 inch bar a quick nip pales into bowel opening fear as you feel that thread let go

Engine and FD oils changed, valve clearances checked, I learned how to remove and refit the headers.
Just the Feckin bolt to sort then I can flush the brakes

Acksherly I’ll use blu-tack on the engine bars for now and get the brake fluid done first

Or just take all the engine bars off and put a bit of copaslip on them in case they seize up again, just check the torque now and again.
