All you need is a 5/8 socket. It isn't anything special. DUH!

A 5/8's socket won't work. The wall thickness of the socket is too much to allow access onto the plug. The only tool I've found that works correctly is the plug socket that comes in any Honda tool kit.

yeah i use the tool from honda and put a socket over that with a ratchet and take it off that way, its alot easier than usin a little handle...dont think you can use anything else...find a buddy with a 400 thats got that tool and barrow it when you need it

Craftsman makes a thin walled deep 18mm socket that works

Go to sears and buy a thin walled socket or stop at your local honda shop and you can order the origanal

How did you Wheelie it off Big Liz

You can buy the socket in rockymountainatv. I just took an old socket and ground down the outside of it, works like a charm now.
