Droo,
        That doesn't work in this case because my needle nose's are apparently
not gritty enough to make purchase with the slick metal of the socket.
Also, the shrouds exacerbate the problem. I haven't been able to get
the balls (or the elbow grease) summoned to rip those shrouds off the
plug holes!

I'm going to give cylinder 5 another shot, but meanwhile, if I can't get
it, is it safe to run 5 autolite 3923's and one of the bosch's as long
as I reset the PCM? I'd probably have to drive it to my mechanic's
place to get the heavy artillery out..
