What do you use? A long reach 10mm socket?

If they are anything like the SID's I had on a bike a couple of years ago, it doesn't need to be quite that deep. [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10mm-Deep-Hex-Socket-3-8Drive-/251189856207?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3a7c1507cf ]Like this[/url] should* be fine

*though I'd suggest you measure how long it needs to be and check in a proper motor factor.

a long series 3/8" drive 10mm socket will do it. cheap off ebay, you wont be leaning on it.

You may find that's to fit a 10mm threaded spark plug, not a 10mm AF nut. Better off with a deep 1/4" drive socket and extension.

deep socket is a better description then long, sorry.

as coatsey says, a 1/4" should do it too

Shirley 3/8" or 1/4" depends on what your socket set is?

(making an assumption here that the OP already [i]has[/i] a socket set of course.)
