Have been struggling to find a workable spark plug wrench to use out on the trail. Have a 22mm/27mm combo wrench (axle combo) but due to the coolant burp extention on top it doesnt fit down on plug all the way to get squarly on plug & is extremely difficult to loosen plug w/o it slipping off plug. I ordered a socket style with a extention handle on it that does fit between the plug & top end but you cant get it on the plug due to the plastics & frame interference. Also the piece of **** bent 1st time i used it. Was thinking of cutting the top part of it off with the handle also shortening it & drilling a hole through it so a screw driver can be inserted to crank plug loose. God there must be an easier way. What does everyone use to easily get your plugs out???

That's what I did. Works well in the garage,haven't had to use it on the trail yet.

MSR water cooled plug wrench. http://www.motosport.com/MSR-Plug-Wrench Works great and it's light. I keep one in my tool box as well as my rider pack.

go to ace hardware store, or whatever po-dunk napa, farm store and get yourself one of the $2.99 kits. much like this.

it fits in my fender pack and works fine.

Thats the one i got. Cant fit it in there & it bent 1st usage.

Have an ace near me. If the cutting the top off the msn wrench & holing it doesnt work i'm heading for ace. Thanks for the info. 30 40 years ago thats the one that came with every bike.

Had a thought why you are able to get your wrench on the plug & i can't. I am shorter so i dropped the seat all the way which would also drop the gas tank. I am raising it back up some. Maybe it will fit then.

Ive been looking for a good trail wrench too!
