Ok let me start this off by saying im not retarded...my first and second cylinder spark plugs came out easy but my third and fourth cylinder the wrench just spins and doesnt catch anything. Any ideas...I know the plugs are not stripped because i can clearly see that they are not. but what im thinking is that whoever put them in before torqued them down so tight the the spark plug socket cant reach it. any ideas would be extremely helpful. thanks!

use a flashlight and look down there for the ends (the metal part) of your plug wire to still be attached to the top of the spark plug. you'll need a long pair of neddle-nose pliers to get to it and get it off so you can get the socket to work.
lemme ask ya this, what brand of wires are they? had it happen to me with NGK's -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I did have a wrench extension...you cant even come close to the plug w/o one. But I ended up breakin the tops off and then i put them in.
