What type of tools works best for plug removal for the Apex/Attaks-socket with a long extension?
 
I haven't looked in my tool kit that came with the sled but there should be a plug wrench in there (there was in my RX-1 and Warrior). Use that one because it has the rubber grommet inside that will grab the plug for you.
 
There is plug wrench in the tool kit. It is the same wrench as last year and you will have to push to force the internal rubber boot over the spark plug head. This years plug has the cap on instead of the treated stud so the hole in the boot is a little small. Us a 14mm ratchet wrench on the end of the socket.

Most ratchet sets come with 2 sparkplug wrenches; big and small. Use the small one and a long extension. Don't waste your time with the included sparkplug wrench, POS will probably twist apart and get stuck in the head.

That wont work. The two common spark plug sizes are 5/8 and 11/16. This requires a thin wall 14mm to fit down into the head. If you EVER need to change a plug, the wrench in your tool kit works just fine. ===SRXSRULE===
