Whooosh Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Anyone have the spec and/or a source for a spark plug wrench for the Wethead? I ordered one from A&S by MotionPro and it didn't fit! Arggh! Tom Link to comment
Whooosh Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 I measured the plugs A&S sent me and they're 14mm. Does that seem right? Link to comment
FrankBrown Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) 14mm deep well socket works fine. When you're putting in the new plug tighten by hand then back out about an 1/8th of and inch before final tightening, otherwise, the socket will get stuck in the taper at the bottom.

Whooosh Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks, Frank. Not surprised a fellow BMWROTB would come through! Mission accomplished, on the RT anyway; next the GS. Link to comment

Just for clarity, you mean pull the socket back 1/8th inch, not back out the spark plug. The first time I read the post, it didn't make sense. Link to comment
strataj Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Look for a thin wall deep socket, it shouldn't get stuck Jay Link to comment
hopz Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I found a thin wall, long socket at Harbor Freight... just FYI. Link to comment
