Spark plug question...sorry

[Guest raptorman]

I have the do-hicky that came withmy '06 Tour Deluxe to remove the plugs...is there supposed to be a wrench that somehow fits in the space in the cylinder to fit on the spark plug socket and actually turn the socket? The manual showsa pictureof something thin that fits into a hole in the side of the plug socket. ??????????????? Can somebody post a picture of what turns the plug socket that came with the bike?

Just use a ratchet and a 17mm socket. The socket fits the end of the spark plug wrench that came with the bike. That's how I do mine.

Yup. 17mm socket. Use a deep one if you can. the standard depth is kinda shallow and if you're not careful you'll bang the ratchet handle on your chrome valve covers. I had to keep lifting up on it, not letting it fully seat over the spark plug tool. But there's not enough room for a 3 inch extension.
