Pulling the plugs and none of my spark plug sockets fit. What size socket is it? Looks pretty small.

Thanks for help...

18mm Spark plug socket required, and is a little difficult to find.  Sears carried them when I bought mine years ago.

My original socket was damaged and I've been looking around.  Trouble is you have to have a thin walled socket.    The other end of the socket is used for the front axle too.

I think I've just been using my deep 18... it is probably a Craftsman,
but since it is years old, they might be different (thicker walled or something)
now...

Thanks for the links.   I looked them up before but I figure I have a couple of months before all the snow and ice melts. cooldude

Craftsman's 18mm  is a very good socket.

My deep well Craftsman 18 mm socket works fine for my personal use.  It's not a spark plug socket. 
If I were a mechanic, I would have a spark plug model though.
