+ | Care should be taken when installing the top spark plug on S models or any with dual plug heads. \\ | ||
+ | It's easy to get into the wrong position and break the end of the plug with a conventional wrench. \\ | ||
+ | This flexible extension allows you to maneuver the plug into the hole using the handle on the end to start the threads without much force. \\ | ||
+ | If the plug doesn't thread easily, the grip will slip on the plug instead of forcing the threads together and cross-threading them. \\ | ||
+ | Then you simply back it out, re-position and try again until the threads are started correctly. \\ | ||
+ | Once the threads are started, remove the flex tool, use a conventional plug wrench to snug up and then a torque wrench for final tightening. \\ | ||
