I've had my 02 RT for a couple of years now. I only drive her on the weekends or on Friday nights when the other half lets me out. Anyway, it's time to change the plugs so, I dusted off my ratchet and spark plug socket, inserted it into the hole and it doesn't fit the plugs. I took a closer look and it appears I need some sort of 12 point socket??? I tried different deep 12 point sockets that I have but none fit. Does anyone know what type of socket I'm going to need to get these out or how to get them out? I tried to get a good pic of what I'm talking about.

wow never seen that, but yeah it looks like probably a12 point of some size[&:]

 

That is Heinous....[8D]

I am sorry I am no help... I have NO IDEA what that could be.

 

ive never seen that either. worst case scenerio you take off the valve covers and remove those with vise grips. then you will have new gaskets too.

 

Thanks all. I'll keep searchin'.

 

All I can say is YIKES!!!! 12Pt or Spline Drive???

Please post pics when you get it out. Love to know what that POS is!!!

 

i think autozone hase a universal that will fit it.... it is a large spark plug socket that is filled with pins..... weird lookin..... but ive never seen a spark plug like that

 

damn man!! I have no clue... but let me know what kinda plug that is. i wanna know. lol

 

I know what you're talking about and I have that. My pops bought that off an infomercial a few years ago. The thing with that socket, it doesn't fit into the spark plug cylinder hole.

 

hmmmmm......... have u tryed the dealership to see what they say? maybe they have a tool u could use/or buy??????? never seen that before either.....
