Spark Plug Socket

[Bertie]

Anyone know where I can get a suitably thin-walled, long reach plug socket for my 1200GS? Simon Wong at Wollastons Northampton lent me his (thanks Simon!) to get me out of a jam/do my 12000 mile service, but I've got to give it back.

Thank you.

Plug Spanner

I got mine from my BMW main dealer (SLM).

Cost was under £7 and it also fits the front wheel spindle. The outer surface is 22mm. This also allows removal of the front wheel without buying another tool.

I can't recall the part number but it was easily found on the microfiche.

I had to order it but it came in within a few days.

Hope this helps.

Spark plug socket

Yes, I too got a spark plug socket that removes the front wheel, but curiously, it doesn't fit the spark plug at all. Even my "Fizzy" had a plug socket in the toolkit, 34 years ago.....

Halfords do them. Go into the tool section and in the specialist area they do a 6" lazer plug socket for about £9 it uses a 3/8" drive

There are two box spanners in my (early and better) toolkit: a smaller one for spark plugs and a bigger one for the front wheel spindle.

Snap on deep sockets are what I use and they work great.

Not only no plug spanner but no coil removal tool and of course no front wheel removal tool!

Just serviced my new 1200 today and needed a plug spanner - one of my KTM plug sockets fits a treat - job done!
