How to remove stock spark plug?
I just got my IK20s.
Took out the spark plugs cover and baaaammmm! The stock spark plugs are deep inside.
I tried using my socket extension, but my socket won't reach the plug.
sooo...is there some sort of special tool?

when i took my spark plugs out i just used a socket extension and kept turning it till the spark plug was out fore sure, and then i pulled it out and the sparkplug was on the socket. Sometimes it wouldnt be but that was bc i didnt have it off all the way. I guess you need something different .

Yea, you need the extension. You don't have to have the "spark plug" socket but it makes it easier and quicker. I didn't have a socket with the foam-rubber thing insider for a while. I would just put the plugs down the hole with a pair of pliers ( so they didn't drop and close the gap up some) and then tighten. Or I would just loosen them all the way and pull them out with needle-nose pliers.
