While trying to get to this plug I dropped my socket and 2" extension into the tin. After the customary period of ranting, I eventually retrieved it with a small telescoping magnet. Secondly, getting the socket off the plug and back out can be irritating. Does anyone know of a supplier who has an extra deep socket that could reach without the extension?

Great idea, thanks. Once I've tightened the plug down, though, I have to gently rock the socket back and forth while pulling up. The extension always pulls out a few times. If the socket were long enough, it would be so much easier to remove. I've been willing to live with it till the dropped into the tin incident. Now I'd like to find a longer socket.

I got an extra little extension that I locktited to the socket. I don't know what you call it, but it looks just like a universal joint. It has M/F 3/8" fittings, and it sticks out of the tin enough to get it and the socket out easily.
I also do the vacuum hose on the spark plug to get them started and threading easily.
