Just checking to see if anyone knows where I can buy a 16 MM Thin Deep Wall Socket. I'm trying to remove the plugs from my 97 Civic V-tech and all of my sockets are too thick to fit down the spark plug shaft. (Sears didn't have one) Thanks in advance.

 

The hex on the plugs is 5/8 inch. Even though they are made in Japan, have metric threads, and go into a Japanese car, the world standard for spark plugs is 5/8 inch. I always used the Craftsman 5/8 spark plug socket on mine but it's not a VTEC so that may be different.

 

I think O2 sensors also have a non-metric standard.

 

Thats weird, I don't have a problem with a Craftmans socket. I have a 97 VTEC, its a HX but I don't think that matters.
