I used a couple of 1/2" drive extension, a knuckle joint, a 1/2 to 3/8" drive
adapter and of course the plug socket... All told it probably measured around
18" or so. :-) Overkill no doubt, but my knuckles were happy, I could get
around the headers, stand up straight doing the work and the 1/2" drive gave me
the leverage to break loose the "Magilla Guerrilla" tight stock plugs. Another
thing that came in handy was some long grip needle nose pliers 'cause I knew
the plug drive would stick on the new plugs and I was too lazy to pull the plug
shields off. Works great for me but, as always, YMMV!

I'm planning on changing my plugs this week with the Champion Truck Plugs
and was wondering if I need to get any special extenders for the socket
wrench. If so, what is the best tools to use to get them out (besides the
socket and the wrench :-)
Will I need a several-inch extender so I can get them out? Any helpful
suggestions will be greatly appreciated by me and my nuckles!
