Just wondering if the sparkplug removal socket came standard with your cars as part of the wheel brace kit or did anyone have to purchase theirs as a seperate item. Mine to my suprise came with the car, is this standard?

I bought a normal 11/16 inch (or 17mm) tool from supercheap.
I changed all the plugs and takes longer than i expected coz, the holes where the plugs are, have "bottle-neck" inside.(i dont know what the purpose is). So, i have to grind the tool a little-bit.
Does anyone notice it? Is it normal?

GPX fto's have an internal reduction which either requires a special tool or as mentioned above a little bit of grinding to the socket to make it fit.
The GR doesn't have this problem.

I ground a cheap plug socket either side - if you need more info I can send a pic.
