FB tune up

Ok I just remembered this, the other week i was doing a tune up on my car. I pulled the plugs out of the first rotor with nothing but a wrench. Got to looking at the plugs and i was trying to figure out why that plug number looked so damn familar. I just threw it away not thinking about it. Then I get to the rear rotor, now I have no socket for these plugs(all my tools are at work) so I cursing and yelling and then a light hit me in the head. I remembered where that number was from. Back when i used to race dirt bikes i ran the same plug, i run into my old useless tools box(i never throw away tools, ever) and pull it out, i get all the plugs back on and tightened in about 15 minutes. The wrench I used was from a 97 CR125 if anyone thinks about getting one. I know I would have probably given it away if anyone wanted it.

I've always used a regular spark plug socket here...

And I supposedly have the ring that hides the hex part where you put the wrench... (1985 engine...)

From Racing Beat:

Quote:

Racing Beat's special Thin Wall Spark Plug Socket is specifically manufactured to allow the installation and removal of spark plugs other than the factory recommended plugs in all 1981 and later engines [except spark plug Part No. 11547, (NGK R6725-11.5): no special socket is required].

The thin wall construction of the socket allows it to slip inside the raised boss casting found on the rotor housings to drive the spark plug hex

If you are using the stock plugs on an FB, you DON'T need any special tools.
