sparkplug socket/ratchet to break loose/tighten.

3" piece of rubber hose that slides over/grips insulators, and spin out-in with fingers.

BTW, I think it takes an 18mm socket.

 

I like the 'official' Yamaha toolkit plug wrench, and that's what I use.

That original tool works well. Dont forget to blow out any foreign stuff before you take the plug out...you really dont want something falling in there.

If you don't have the Yammy tool, get a thin-walled 18mm socket (Kobalt makes a nice one), swivel joint and 6" extension. Like told, blow out the debris before you remove the plugs.
