BBK's mids and changing sparkplugs???

I have bbk headers and I am having trouble getting the plugs out of #5&7. Does anyone have a trick to do on these two? The others I have got out fairly easy but these two are killing me. Thanks in advance for the help. Buck

Agreed, a spark plug socket and open end wrench should do the trick in the tight spots.

the problem that I am running into is that I cant get the socketon then the wrench. It was the last two I tried and after an MSD opti and 6 plugs I was ready to start trowing crap. I will give it a try again. Thanks Buck

You may have to grind the socket down then to make it fit. I have seen special spark plug sockets for sale in Summit that are shortened as well.
