In Reply to: Please Help Need M6 Spark Plug Socket posted by Adam 84 ///M635 on April 14, 2001 at 04:16:13:

Get a craftsman 12 pt 11/16 deep socket 3/8 drive and a cheap 5/8 sparkplug socket.

Take a set of pliers and pull the rubber from the sparkplug socket. Put the rubber on an
old sparkplug.

Now fill the top of the 11/16 socket with silicone and insert the plug with the rubber until
the bottom of the hex is flush with the
bottom of the socket. Let dry and remove the plug.

You may still have to turndown the outside of the socket (about .050 total.) Local machine shop can do it.

The dealer sells one it's a 11/16 thin wall with black oxide finish(same as impact socket just thinner. I believe the part number is 8-88-6-121-160-6 and then cost $31.
