Re: socket size required to remove the spark plug
You need to either grind doen a tube socket or get a special mitsubishi spark plug tool thin enough to fit in. A regular soxket set wont fit

Re: socket size required to remove the spark plug
Standard spark plug removal socket mate. It'll have the rubber insert for grabbing the plug. And just check your jack kit in your boot. Mine had the special tool hidden in there. So much easier than wrecking a socket if you have itNextLevel wrote:thanks Taz.

Na I don't believe they ever came out with the vehicle, but some lucky owners like myself may have acquired them with the vehicle from previous owners.
