OK I give up, how the heck are you supposed to get the 7/8" spark plugs out of a B if the biggest spark plug wrench made is a 13/16" and a standard socket is too thick to fit in the bore. I have been to every parts store in a 40 mile radius and I get the same story, sorry but we don't have a 7/8" spark plug wrench.

Brewster, get a thinwall 7/8, by 3/8's drive 8 point socket and it should go right in, works on three other ones here.
Good luck with it.

Have you tried sears or napa. I have a 7/8 deep well socket that came from one of those stores. Aaron

I tried NAPA and they have a deep 7/8" but the problem is that the spark plug sits in a "bore" on the B's and the wall of the socket is too thick and won't go in the hole. I'll try Sears tomorrow if they don't have one I'll put a grinder to a cheap one and make it fit.

I got a 7/8 deep well socket (Great Neck) from Quality Farm Store/Central Tractor and it works fine on my 1949 B.

Brewster, I have used a 7/8 deep socket. And I have gone to the pawn shop and bought a regular 7/8 socket and then a smaller one and welded them together. You can grind off the 7/8 if it won't go in the plug hole. Later
