Who is hiding the 1/4-32 (5/16 thin-wall deep spark plug wrenches
« on: January 28, 2022, 05:10:41 pm »
Trying to reach between cooling fins, trying not to crack the insulator, for a hot minute I introduced a cheap six point 1/4 drive socket to the belt sander, but unlike glow plugs or big boy sparky plugs, a decent plug wrench For these critters is not so easy to locate.
Suggestions?

No Idea. Have the same problem with one of the eight head bolts on a pump from a sprayer.

Yup.  five sixteenths, six point, high quality, well fitting socket meets belt sander is itself a travesty, but it’s all I got.

I've had good results using a hollow-shaft nutdriver:

The end can be reduced on the belt sander to get into tight places:
