Removing Spark Plug 1982 WR430

[Marcgregory]

I am sure this is a stupid question and there is probably an easy way that I cannot think of, but, I cannot remove the spark plug from my 1982 WR430. I have tried multiple spark plug wrenches and cannot get socket completely on the spark plug due to the expansion chamber. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Marc

Fixed my own problem. Found a wrench at the bike shop that worked.

as you found you need a short plug socket

 

[Marcgregory]

Yes, a shorter plug socket was all I needed! A little grinding made it fit even better! Thank you.

ive had this one for years, its never let me down and has worked on just about anything. anything that it wont work on a ratchet will. this one works well with the ac swedes...counl probably make one like it from a 12 point socket and flatbar. obviously the 12 point helps in tight places..

Craftsman new style socket set has a hole through the socket and socket wrench works perfect. Check it out.

Justin, is that swede specific ?

I'll have to take a picture, but the wrench that came with my '00 WR250, is perfect for my '82 250WR and lighter than the original one that came with the '82.

im not sure where this wrench came from to be honest..i used it on alot of bikes tho! it does look like a swede factory tool or something they would make, lol..

ive seen those but have stopped supporting craftsman when they stopped honoring warranty on alot of hand tools that said craftsman on them

I am sure some other company makes one like the craftsman. One would think anyway.

A chainsaw wrench works if you find the correct size there online. That's all the orginal oem wrench is.

You might try these MSR plug wrenches.
Two choices, one style for finned air cooled and one style for water cooled.
