Most engine's Operators manual will say to thread in spark plug's by hand, however this can be a difficult as the spark plug holes are usually hard to access with your fingers.

I will walk you through how to make a tool for the job.

What you will need:

- Spark plug

- Garden Hose ( I used some with a internal diameter of 12mm as this holds a spark plug)

- A knife or scissors to cut the hose

Step 1: Cutting the Hose

Insert the spark plug into one of the ends of the hose.

Step 3: Thread in Spark Plug

One you have tighten the spark plug using the garden hose pull it off and use the correct size socket and wrench to tighten it

Step 5: Removal of Spark Plug

To remove the spark plug simply do these step in reverse. First loosen the spark plug with the correct size socket and wrench, then apply the garden hose to the spark plug and thread the spark plug out.
