Did a rebuild for my friends on an 92 250x. Last thing i need done is just to put the spark plug in and when I put it in and try and use a sparkplug socket i cant get the rachet all the way on because it its the engine vavle cover part. If i try and use a wrench around the sparkplug socket it wont fit either because the damn case/head is to close to fit anything on. How the hell can i get it in.

Yeah, that thing's a pain.... What you need is one of those thin tools that isn't for a ratchet. It has a hole to put a screw driver in to tighten. Something like for a chain saw. ;)

excatly what project said, mine is about 4 inches long and its a breeze to get it in and out of the little area you have to work in.

Yeah, those things are great. They should have them at any parts store. Also I have heard of some sockets thin enough..

do you guys mean a breakerbar? Just a thing bar that has the thing to connect to the sparkplug socket?

no where close to a breakerbar, Mine is a steel peice that is hollow and has 2 different sizes, one on each end, simply at the top it has a slot so you can fit a screwdriver or what not in there to allow it to tighten. I will try to get a picture for you sometime.

What they are talking about is the plug wrench from the original tool kit. You can get one at any dealer or find a deep well thin wall socket.

Yeah, what 250xRider said. I know some tool came with it, but after all the years/ owners good luck getting it.

Never use only your fingers... not a smart idea.
