To install, I can put plug into rubber hose to screw it in, then reverse the removal process for final torquing. BTW, I use a thin film of oil on the thread to eliminate seizing of plug.
Curious about the 1/2-drive breaker bar

Seems an awful big too for spark plugs. How much do you tighten those suckers when you put 'em in?
