Title: Socket Set
Post by: Thanatos on December 02, 2008, 08:40:11 PM

Does anybody know what size deep socket is needed to remove the spark plugs on my 05 GS? I just tried my standard automotive ones 5-16, and they did not work. I bought my bike used, and it did not come with the tool kit (damn). Any help is appreciated.

I have a cheap set of English sockets for my lawn mower.

And a few nice sets of metric for my vehicles. :cheers:
